Just wanted to say that I've decided not to pursue the proxy lib
experiment with libbe.so. The more I've looked at the docs, thought
about the whole sub-system and looked at what will be necessary to pull
the experiment off, it just doesn't seem worth the effort; especially in
light of the fact that rants about the impossibility of achieving binary
compatibility have basically vanished. I figure we can prove the point
when we start running 3rd party apps out of the box. =)
