Have a look at ftp://parcftp.parc.xerox.com/pub/ilu/ilu.html

The scope is probably a little more than what you need, but it does
run on lots of platforms and supports clients and servers done in a
number of programming languages (python, c, c++, java,...), using a
couple(few?) interface specification languages (corba's IDL, and
ILU's ISL).

An interesting read if nothing else.
