Okidoki. I am harvesting code from all around - Peter Smet sent me his Fly-By-Wire stuff - has not
checked it yet though. But on the other hand I have looked a little at Johan Fabry's RMP stuff -
it is "like RMI" with transparent proxies etc. The code looks well written (no sweat grokking it)
and it is SIMPLE.

I thought I should look through all code I could get my hands on and then try to pick what looks
best and combine them. For example - SRP looks quite interesting for Serialization. Johan's RMP
(Remote Messaging Protocol) looks simple and extensible - as perhaps your stuff is too? :-)

I will post a summary when I am done.
