	Surely there should not be a per-toolkit wrt. simply bridging to a
different IPC mechanism. And indeed, the plus for Java of course would
be that it should be faster than using TCP sockets, more secure, and (of
course) will work on stock Linux systems (that disable IPv4/6 sockets).

	I'd also expect a (small) slowdown just enabling IPv4 sockets, whether
they are used or not (and they're not preferred clearly), since in
itself that ~doubles the size of each object profile we marshal.
