That's why I suggested some days ago to reorg FreeMWare a bit and
define primitives exported to other.... hm, let's say "modules" or so,
like GUIs. With that we're easyly able to write some different
"modules" to control FreeMWare. For example, may also be a desktop
like GNOME or KDE wants to offer applications from other os' integrated
in their desktop (no idea how this could look like, but possible) the
GNOME or KDE guys write their own "module" for FreeMWare control,
or a "marshalling module" could marshall the output and pump it over
a net and so on...
