Nice.

My plan is a little different: I want a text interface over the existing
TCP local interface, so that it's easily scriptable -- so that you can say
e.g.

  (echo 'add interface tun42'; echo 'quit') | nc ::1 33123

By the way, I haven't checked in detail, but it looks like you assume that
the client message arrives in a single read -- there's no such guarantee
on SOCK_STREAM sockets.
