How useful would this be: have the ability (perhaps only in tty or
raw mode) to for the existence of a socket (some predefined place)
and if it exists, send the (formatted) text of the message there
nstead of the tty. Then, emacs support is simply having some lisp
code open that socket and do a magic-buffer-popup (see zwgc.el),
and other "smart" applications could do the same... you could even
have a program that runs and holds all messages until you bring
it up, so that screen intensive programs don't get disturbed but
you can still conveniently get the messages when you suspend...
