 From the commits I have seen in the server branch on github I think I 
understand what you're doing. However, just to be sure:
What will an IDE be able to do once your idea is complete?
Will this allow the IDE to issue build commands that are piped into 
Boost.Build?
Do you have any plans to merge this capability with the daemon branch?
Most importantly, is there anything that I can do to help?

Thanks,
Aaron
