Very simple...  Jsut need to have some kind of API for it....
(ie: a way to configure XML and provide signal hooks :)
I keep thinking of exploring XMLRPC (which yes I -did- have working and

*augh*.  It's a painful function, takes lots of support.  Was removed from
sigc++ 'cause maintaniers refuse to mess with it anymore.
I looked at it and ummm... it's possible... *wry grin*.
I gave up myself and switched to sigcx because it was less work....

sigcx is a nice enough lib, but yah it does add unnecessary dependencies.

G'day, eh? :)
