Nice, but unportable. One of my long-term goals is that this will
eventually become a candidate to be GNU init; which won't happen without
lots of conditionals if I opt to use RPC calls on HURD. Plus, I'm a lot
more au fais with FIFOs that I am with RPC ports. :)

That's easily changeable. However, I've not seen a libscm lurking anywhere
on the machines I have access to, so I'm not sure it'd be an issue (it's not
like users generally go around arbitarily linking libraries at random.. ;)
