Point taken about the differing API. The ifdefs aren't too bad, mostly it's a
matter of different sp_writer_create, sp_open_shm, and sp_client_open
functions, but it's certainly not ideal.

Due to organizational processes, it'll be one or two weeks before I can post
code. I just wanted to get any feedback I could in the mean time so I could
make changes if needed.
