What's your objection to dbus? It gives you a standard message bus, is
small, light, consumes minimal resources and provides a nice standard
way to do IPC. Probably easier than reinventing the wheel with named
pipes and other bits over and over.
Now if it had similarities to say hal, I would instantly understand.
But dbus is good and useful in all the ways that hal isn't.
