libixp is much smaller than the complete lib9p* dependencies of
Plan9 (which are about 50kSLOC including lib9, if not more). And
libixp/client.c keeps the connection between dial and hangup, I
don't think the client part is a bad API of libixp (however the
server side needs polishing, I always agreed to this).

A sloccount of libixp tells me it consists of 1244 lines, for
everything (socket handling, server/client side, protocol layer,
- only dependency are 173 lines of libcext).
This is 1.5kSLOC vs. 60kSLOC...
