I've been thinking about such a thing for a while, but haven't really done 
more than think so far.

Another alternative (for *nix systems, at least) would be to use DBUS.

The AmigaOS builds of E-UAE have an AREXX interface which allows this sort of 
thing, but I haven't done much with it for a while, and it definitely needs 
to be expanded upon.

A definite must for this sort of remote interface would be to allow 
configuration options to be manipulated. For instance, the remote GUI would 
say something like "set cpu_speed=real" and E-UAE would do that. Using the 
same option format as config files would keep things nice and simple.

Cheers,
Rich
