Having apps provide their UI files in a stream so the uiserver can show them 
on screen (IIRC possible without any compilation nowadays) certainly warrents 
investigation IMO.

Well, callbacks in C++ are a lot cleaner. Just make the app implement a class 
that has some pure-virtual methods (or just virtual for that matter) and get 
the app to use a setAppInterface(MyInterface) or similar method and you are 
done.
