I'm creating a framework which (of course) does lots of fancy

Office. I had this hard-coded before, but wanted the ability to
allow additional applications by other developers to "join in" on
this suite, so I created this framework. So far, things are going
wonderfully.
Why not have them locate each other through a well-defined mach
port or similar IPC mechanism? Each app that embeds the framework
tries to contact this port and says "hello, here I am".
Good idea, but I'd suggest simply using Rendezvous (aka Bonjour)
instead of rolling your own solution. This is pretty much exactly
what it's for.
