At the moment Klone cannot be used as an external library, it requires 
its own daemon.

BTW keeping Klone as a daemon and using a RPC protocol like SVDRP to 
trigger DVB operation is something I would prefer over integrating 
everything into a single object; Klone by default runs in pre-forking 
mode so address space sharing would not be possible anyway.

You could use iterative mode (kloned.conf:"model iterative") to avoid 
fork()s but that kills performance most of the time and may not work 
properly with AJAX webapps (because simultaneous connections are 
impossibile in iterative mode).

In few words I would keep the current design :-)

bye,
stefano
