That's true when you have FFI implemented in a compatible way in SXEmacs
and GNU Emacs. For the time being, using a D-Bus API is already possible
in both Emacsen (given, that I finish my tasks on SXEmacs).

Yes, that would ease access to such libraries. If FFI would be available
in GNU Emacs, one could think about rewriting those libraries in Lisp.
