Looks great!  I actually didn't follow the discussion on DAPI too closely here 
on this mailing list, and your document was great in explaining to me what I 
had missed.

A question, though (to whom it may concern):
"For IPC either DBUS or a custom protocol can be used."

Would it be possible to simply _include_ DBUS into the library instead of 
creating a custom protocol?  Staticly linking it would be possible, or, even 
better, including a shared library.   Would it be possible to test whether 
DBUS exists on the host system, and if not, then fallback to the included 
shared library?

On a related note, SuSE Linux 10.0 x86 installs dbus in the default install.
