You might be interested in IEM's xmlrpc library for Pd.  That will  
give you an interface closer to a library.  We could use this project  
as an impetus to get iemxmlrpc into Pd-extended, if it isn't  
already.  Other options are OSC, and just using Pd messages over a  
network socket (they are very simple format, anything ASCII ending  
with a semi-colon and a carraige return).

It would also be a useful test case for steering the build system  
towards making custom distros.  This would mean that Apricot could  
easily use any Pd library that is included in Pd-extended, but we  
could then strip out anything that isn't actually used.

I'll be in Amsterdam from April 30th until May 7th ish, I could meet  
up with you guys for some face time, if that's not too late. :)
