[interfacekit] BMessage format

Hi there,

we just had a discussion about which way to go for kernel BMessages - 
as you may know, the R5 kernel sends our BMessages directly to 
applications for node monitoring and live query messages.
The best alternative idea to avoid code duplication was a special new 
BMessage format, i.e. 'FOB0': the kernel would know how to write them, 
the BMessage class would know how to read them. We might even want to 
put some helper parse classes in libroot.so, in a way that the C API 
could also use them (i.e. for kernel modules).

Have you written any documentation/specs about BMessages yet=3F All I 
found is a very basic field description (in docs/develop/app/
bmessage.txt).
Depending on the message format, I could consider dropping the special 
FOB0 format.

Anyway, what are your thoughts about the FOB0 idea in general=3F

Adios...
   Axel.
