Sounds good.  I'll start experimenting with DYNINSTuserMessage to see
how it works for me.  And I'd still appreciate suggestions on the best
way to send such messages in reverse, mutator->mutatee.

I'm somewhat interested in the dyninst_lock_t too, so I can avoid
drawing in pthreads, but I'm not thrilled that tc_lock_lock() uses a
busy loop.  Would you be open to an implementation on futexes for Linux?

Thanks,
