another kind of generic go between for communication is a web server.
webservers have security measures, can act like a virtual network even if on 
just one machine.  The interprocess circuit design program communications could 
all go through a web page.  That page could be set up to do the required polling
to handle sequences programs we're interested in would generate, such as when 
layout has a capacitance property attached to a trace, trigger a change to the 
schematic wire involved -- back annotate it.  And similarly for sims and schematics.
