Yeah, this is the first time I've tried using a named mailbox in
JInterface.  It seems to work pretty well, but since I need an easy
way to get the pid, I guess I'll just go with the pid registry
solution (the last one on your list) that I have been using.

I still think it's a bit funky that { name, node } message sending
works, but there's no way to get the pid of a process given its {
name, node } tuple...
