	Lots of wonderful goals and news; very pleasing, however one of
the most evil problems we have to face is that of the ABI for shared
library modules; It really needs fixing IMHO. One rather simple method for
solving the problem would be to make the local case do a generic in-memory
marshal / de-marshal, but it is a nasty problem.

	What are your thoughts on this issue ?

	Regards,
