I'll definitely look through CZMQ once I get a little further 
with what I already have planned.  Thanks.

Up until about a week ago, I didn't even know about zeromq.  ;)  
A friend of mine requested that I write this, because the company 
he works for (iostudio.com) might then consider using D for some 
in-house work.  Crossing fingers, for D's sake.  Since I'm 
writing my wrapper as per his request, we might end up with very 
different products.  Competition is a good thing, right?

Researching and working on this leads me to think I'm going to 
want to use zeromq quite a bit myself, going forward.
