Oooh, I _like_ this. So you simply have an AF_UNIX socket open, and have a
thread in each room blocking on reading it. When it gets something it
pulls the fd that I've passed though it out, and that's the new player
connection in that room; the other thing I need to do is pass a player
identifier down the same pipe, so the room process knows which object tree
to grab hold of and assign to the new player thread. Cool.
Thanks bunches. I *like* this design.
