So I got the beta universal interfaces for Mac OS 9 from that URL there,
and looked at EPPC.h and PPCToolbox.h until my eyes bled, and I put
together a working prototype.  We have AEs over TCP/IP under Mac OS 9!
Woop!

I imagine the interface will be similar to how it is now.  Now:

   $f = new Mac::Glue 'Finder', ppc => 'Finder', 'Server', 'Zone';
   $f = new Mac::Glue 'Finder', eppc => 'Finder', 'somehost.com';

And now the login procedure can be much simpler, since the keychain can
store it and you can get logged in automatically.
