Re: Xaros (cross-posting from aros-dev mailing list)
Cloanto has released something quite similar based on UAE instead of
AROS: http://www.amigaforever.com/kxlight/.

Both would be suitable for a userland implementation. DragonFly's
CAPS messaging calls (for userland) are loosely modeled after the
Amiga's named port rendezvous.
Note, however, that CAPS needs more work. I think I need to simplify
it a bit more.... right now it generates extra messages to give the
two sides the ability to manage their buffers but I think it is actually
better to not generate those extra messages and just stuck with the
message/reply model.
