The main reason why I advocate such a simple notification style is
that this kind of thing is trivial to script, without a C wrapper:

  if {server &;} | read y ; then
    client
  else
    echo "Server did not notify readiness" 1>&2
    exit 1
  fi

Using a supervision framework is the best solution if there is a
case for running the server independently from the client. If there
isn't, the above script works.
