Hi,
I just happened to find the following slides of this year´s FOSDEM:

I came up with a similar idea on this list a while back. In the
meantime, I started to write some NetBSD code to model an IPC
imlpementation close to BeOS ports, of which a potential port of libbe
could take advantage. You can find the code here.

Please note, however, that it´s at most comile-tested, might contain
horrible bugs and lags all kind of performance optimizations.
