+/**
+ * ipcIService
+ *
+ * the IPC service provides the means to communicate with an external IPC
+ * daemon and/or other mozilla-based applications on the same physical system.
+ * the IPC daemon hosts modules (some builtin and others dynamically loaded)
+ * with which applications may interact.
+ *
+ * at application startup, the IPC service will attempt to establish a
+ * connection with the IPC daemon.  the IPC daemon will be automatically
+ * started if necessary.  when a connection has been established, the IPC
+ * service will enumerate the "ipc-startup-category" and broadcast an
+ * "ipc-startup" notification using the observer service.
+ *
+ * when the connection to the IPC daemon is closed, an "ipc-shutdown"
+ * notification will be broadcast.
+ *
+ * each client has a name.  the client name need not be unique across all
+ * clients, but it is usually good if it is.  the IPC service does not require
+ * unique names.  instead, the IPC daemon assigns each client a unique ID that
+ * is good for the current "session."  clients can query other clients by name
+ * or by ID.  the IPC service supports forwarding messages from one client to
+ * another via the IPC daemon.
+ *
+ * for performance reasons, this system should not be used to transfer large
+ * amounts of data.  instead, applications may choose to utilize shared memory,
+ * and rely on the IPC service for synchronization and small message transfer
+ * only.

+ *     the IPC daemon.
+ *  o  If aSenderID is IPC_SENDER_ANY, then this function waits for a message

+ *     with ID given by aSenderID.  If aSenderID does not identify a valid
+ *     client, or if the client dies while waiting, then this function will
+ *     return an error.
+ *
+ * The aObserver parameter is interpreted as follows:
+ *  o  If aObserver is null, then the default message observer for the target
+ *     is invoked when the next message is received.
+ *  o  Otherwise, aObserver will be inovked when the next message is received.
+ *
+ * The aConsumer parameter is interpreted as follows:
+ *  o  If aObserver is null or aConsumer is null, this parameter is ignored.
+ *  o  Otherwise, aConsumer will be invoked right after (and only if) aObserver
+ *     has accepted some message. It will receive exactly the same message
+ *     that was accepted by aObserver.
+ *
+ * The aTimeout parameter is interpreted as follows:
+ *  o  If aTimeout is PR_INTERVAL_NO_TIMEOUT, then this function will block
+ *     until a matching message is received.
+ *  o  If aTimeout is PR_INTERVAL_NO_WAIT, then this function will only inspect
+ *     the current queue of messages.  If no matching message is found, then
+ *     IPC_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK is returned.
+ *  o  Otherwise, aTimeout specifies the maximum amount of time to wait for a
+ *     matching message to be received.  If no matching message is found after
+ *     the timeout expires, then IPC_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK is returned.
+ *
+ * If aObserver's OnMessageAvailable function returns IPC_WAIT_NEXT_MESSAGE,
+ * then the function will continue blocking until the next matching message
+ * is received.  Bypassed messages will be dispatched to the default message
+ * observer when the event queue, associated with the thread that called
+ * IPC_DefineTarget, is processed.
+ *
+ * There is a special case if aSenderID is IPC_SENDER_ANY and one of IPC clients
+ * dies while this function waits for a message. In this case, aObserver's
+ * OnMessageAvailable function is called with a special set of arguments:
+ * dead client id, empty target id and null message (both data and data length
+ * are zeroes). If it returns IPC_WAIT_NEXT_MESSAGE, IPC_WaitMessage continues
+ * blocking as usual, otherwise an error is immediately returned to the caller.
+ *
+ * aObserver is not expected to use any IPC system functons from within its
+ * OnMessageAvailable implementation. This is because the IPC system is not
+ * re-entrant during invocation of OnMessageAvailable function, and making other
+ * IPC calls can lead to unexpected results (like message losses or traps). On
+ * the contrary, aConsumer's OnMessageAvailable function is allowed to use the
+ * IPC system without any limitations.
+ *
+ * This function runs the risk of hanging the calling thread indefinitely if
+ * no matching message is ever received.
