right.

i don't devel on win/mac and haven't for years now, but fwiu, the exact
mechanism to do this is platform specific. still, it works rather well on all
platforms so doesn't paint us into a platform-specific corner in case we care
about that.

most importantly, it means no application level IPC, no unecessary copying of
data around, and all the rendering can be kept within the processes where it
makes the most sense.
