I do not have a lot of knowledge about how messaging works (more than
what I read from my COM+ book), but it looked relatively simple to
implement.  Up to the point, that we wanted to implement it for Bonobo
back in the pre-Mono days.

It would be very fun to write such a beast in C#, but my knowledge is
Rusty, and I have promised myself not to write new code until I fix the
known bugs in my current code ;-)
