communicating from console app to wxWidgets app?

[Riccardo Cohen]

it is quite easy to build a socket communication on linux, and it is not 
difficult to port it to mac and even windows.

the only thing is that the wxwidget application must handle correctly 
the listen process  : check incoming connexions within idle events and 
avoid multithreading if not necessary.

but there is a point that might be difficult : on linux you need to be 
root to listen on a socket port... I don't know how to handle this.
