Yep. I'm working on the protocol C interface right now, but I'm a bit slow
and still on the barebones, so don't expect anything fancy this week :)

The way I'm seeing it, this interface may be sort of an abstraction layer
for the protocol, so that in any foreseable future one can switch over
other ipc infrastructure instead of inet sockets (e.g. shm), if just
someone care to code it :)

But right now I'll be stuck with the tcp/udp stuff. FYI this is taking the
form of multithreaded client/server stuff; business as usual ;)
