I ended up using Distributed Objects, which was shockingly easy.
Carbon desperately needs something like this. Obviously it can't be
exactly the same; a lot of the slickness of it is incredibly clever
leveraging of the Objective-C runtime. But it would be cool just to
have some sort of global registration mechanism to let apps shoot
messages back and forth without having to iterate the list of PSNs on
the system or look for certain bundle identifiers or something.
(Maybe AppleEvents can already do this...?? It seems that nobody
knows how, though.)
A simple analog available from Cocoa or Carbon would be CFMessagePort.

Cool. I learned one more little piece of CF :) Does Distributed Objects
actually layer on top of this? (Do AppleEvents, for that matter?)
