So what we need it to make the Replicant framework easier to use, and
provide for higher-level mechanisms(sp?) for interaction between the
container and the embedded app -- preferedly, the client (i.e., embedded)
should have the Replicant stuff built-in as much as possible (I think the
default API is a bit trickier than necessary), and that a way of exposing
the methods supported by the client in a high-level definition language.
We have most things in place for supporting a module-based (task-based,
even!) environment, with the Application Kit and whatnot.
OpenDoc Haiku-style :)
