;)  Corba is fine with me ofcourse, but I'm not sure whether it is good
over internet connections. Will need stuff like SECIOP to become usable.
Had a quick look just now, couldn't find any library that is GPL'd. It
can turn out a gnet based interface is better here. (glib = lib in the
glib/gdk/gtk library family, special for network connections)
