The next slang release will include a new socket module.  In fact, I
am using it to develop a remote debugger that interfaces with sldb for
use with jed.  I decided that this was the best way to go for
debugging jed's slang code because this approach does not affect any
of jed's buffers or windows.

What interface does xdvi use for IPC?  The socket module has
socket/bind/listen/accept functions and current supports AF_INET and
AF_UNIX protocols.

What does the code look like?
