Well, there's gtk-server.  It appears to work via tcp/ip
connections (among others).  I've tested it from Python on
Linux, and it appears to work as advertised.  Unfortunately,
it doesn't implement all of the controls that I would need,
so I'd need to build them.  (It looks like a simple job of
editing the gtk-server.cfg file, but I'm looking for an
easier solution ... besides, I don't know how
well-maintained the project is.)

If dmd would link to *.so files, then I would probably say
"Well, if it stops working, then I can just convert the
program to calls via a c interface.", but since it
doesn't... I'm currently planning to spend some time looking
at mono, and if that doesn't pan out experimenting with
threads in Python, or possibly even Java.
