I was under the impression that you could do all of the above with Meiko
CSTools !

The first with CSBuild (I'm not 100% certain about this), the second is
trivial with named transports (or have I misunderstood what you want), and
the third is most definitely "doable" with CSTools as you can compile
CSTools programs on the Sun with cc instead of mcc. All you need to worry
about is byte order and that can be handled with XDR routines.

I have personally programmed the last two and I'll check the first. Email
me...
