Cool, if this stuff does what we need in gpilotd it will save me loads of
time.  I appreciate you jumping ahead with this, some unexpected
circumstances has made my time incredibly scarce.  Maybe I can get global
gpilotd working this next weekend as well as all the hooks in gpilotd for
CORBA.  If you have plans to do this though, don't wait for me, go right
ahead.  If I see a major problem I will try to let you know my opinion
before it is too late :).
