Ah yes, I keep forgetting about those binaries from the Xen repo -- are they 
installed by distros these days? (so we have a netcat-like vchan client).

If you could take a look at a few simple examples of vchan on the Mirage side 
that I could use as a base, that'd be most helpful -- I'm happy to build the 
Flow layer over it while importing SSL (which requires a FLOW module type 
that's separate from the implementation such as TCPv4).
