we're using zeroMQ in machinekit (formerly LinuxCNC)

to retain the end-to-end principle, we need to be able to send multipart 
messages to and from RT threads

that isnt possible with libzmq code since it's C++ and uses dynamic memory 
allocation

the code which we'll be using is based on a lock-free ringbuffer in shared 
memory (ring_*), and a multipart framing layer on top of that (bring_*): 
http://psha.org.ru/cgit/psha/ring/?h=wip-buffer

a proxy thread at the RT boundary translates from zmq to ringbuffer framing and 
back

just in case somebody has a similar requirement
