Then I'll add some thoughts about the topology plugin discussed a couple of
weeks ago.

I would really like the IPC plugin to be able to serve several clients
concurrently. However, I realize this poses some problems, since the plugin
I was thinking about was a "read only" pluging, that is, all clients receive
information but don't change a thing. If the IPC interface allows changing
OLSRD configuration, for example, either we trust the clients or we only
allow the first client to issue "write" operations...
