Hm... yeah, it looks like the innd side would support that.  Normally
ctlinnd creates a Unix domain socket to receive responses and then tears
it down afterwards, which is a lot of overhead, but it doesn't look you
have to do that.

Anyway, since I think we want to eventually accept these over TCP, I agree
with the way Olaf did it.  But thanks for pointing out the above; I hadn't
looked at the control channel code in a while and it didn't work quite the
way I thought it did.
