 Research like www.cs.utexas.edu/~shmat/shmat_oak13parrot.pdf makes it even
 more clear that it's worth exploring the possibility of actually using the
 software you are trying to emulate. That is, if you are trying to look
 like Skype, you better use the Skype binary. If you want to look like
 HTTP, you better use a browser on the client-side and a web server on the
 server-side.

 We should look whether we can use stuff like Webkit to write a client-side
 transport, and a web server like nginx or apache to write its server-side.
