Actually, while it doesn't support WM_COPYDATA, I did just add a
function to ldglite (for Windows) to paste text from the clipboard
into the LEDIT emulation mode on a CTRL-V. So now it can get
part names indirectly from LDList via the clipboard. Pretty neat!
The really nice part for me is you can do everything without touching
the mouse by using ALT-TAB to switch between the two windows.
Next I'll have to see what GLUT does with the X selection buffer.
Also, what's involved in Windows Drag N Drop?

It's a simple distributed computing protocol based on XML and HTTP.

Nothing. I just thought I could use an excuse for more practice with
XML.

Sure, why not? What if say the server is capable of rendering
offscreen and then returning a PNG image? There might be a
use for that sort of thing.
