In an initial blog of SFW,

     http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2009/05/26/qt-service-framework/

I read "This initial release focuses on in-process".
And QtCreator also has a infrastructure to load and unload services,
they call it "ExtensionSystem":

    http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtcreator-extending/extensionsystem.html

It's only in-process but at a first glace it looks that SFW
could also be used for the job.

There was a discussion about qtcreator's pluginsystem on the qtcreator list
     http://lists.qt.nokia.com/pipermail/qt-creator/2011-May/009030.html
So there is interest in a good framework.

I know, a plugin-system is not the same as a IPC framework with support
for in-process calls, but isn't it similar?
