The most interesting feature (being able to send messages to  "spawned
processes" that are resident in other O/S processes or on other machines)
isn't done yet. I'm not that thrilled with how Erlang does it, by the way
(IP addresses and ranges of well-known ports) but I haven't thought of
anything better. DNS service records, maybe?

Presenting this somewhere would be fun... ;-)
