Communicator was a large bucket into which I poured every bit of code that
was common to different gui-indep implementations (or would have been
anyway). It went hand in glove with signals/slots. The new plan is to
instead turn those Communicator.method()s into LyXFuncs so they can
accessed by everyone using a std::string of parameters.

You don't.
You can use the patch I posted last week to get the old lyx branch up and
running but even that patch is now effectively out of date. Or you wait a
couple of days and get my branch from cvs.

Already rolling and ready for take-off.
