Doesn't make this things (or, at least, my suggestion) even simpler? One only has to build some
TCP (I assume that's what things will work on) code around it...?
The only problem that I see would be to find a clever way to have both for either local or remote
to affect the minimum amount of other software but you know the code and where to start.

So, what's the problem here then? Do you find that solution awkward? (I bet you do not as the
debugger already works like this ;))
