What is the status of your library ?

I am writing a C server that needs IPC support. I think to use dbus.
I need clients to be able to call methods on the server and register
a callback method that will be called by the server
once the method will finish. is there a way to do that i dbus ?
(btw my server is multi-threader).

Do you think I can use your library (I need it for production systems) ?

What other alternatives do you recommend me to use ?

I though about glib but I am afraid of dependancies. My target system
is embedded
and i don't want clutter.

Thank you
