the best description so far was this:

This is a test of interprocess communication using message
	passing.  The model for message passing is a simplifed version
of UNIX SysV IPC.  On the sender side message passing should not block
the sender. For the receiver messages should arrive in one piece and
they should be possible to receive selectivly.


not mentioned is my desire to see what kind of performance a language 
can get while doing the test. i think that the whole idea with the 
shootout is to compare performance, and forgot to mention it. should i 
add it?
