Yet another option is to prepare an SLB socket library (since we don't
currently have "true" shared libs, but a "not true" one is enough for that
matter), that would use the appropriate TCP stack, and provide an unified
interface for applications. Such thing (SLB) canbe even loaded under TOS,
thanks to Julian's SLB loader. I assume this can be used in GFA?
