I'm aiming at shared libraries wrapped in C++ classes, actually. I've  
been digging in the code and it's written so as to use Unix IPC rather  
than shared libraries. It's elegant, damnably hard to port, and seems  
central to the design of Radiance, hence this approach. My idea, right  
now--I may change my idea--is to provide classes which cover the same  
ground and use most of the same code as the existing commands, which  
can then be easily invoked in a GUI environment. Right now, though, I  
am still struggling with Mac shared library system.
