Well, I actually have the ReWire SDK, but haven't looked at it yet. I was
hoping someone else here would know details! :)  I've been basing my
statements about ReWire on how I've seen it used, as a sync master and
how a client (and host?) registers itself and (all?) hosts (and clients?)
have a selection method for available ReWire connections.
