Might be hard to do in a robust framework.

Greg Warnes' RSOAP and related manager framework is one start, as is
Simon Urbanek's Rserve package.

We've (Greg and I, in that order) have gotten part way on such a
beast, using a web objects framework for consulting/collaboration
services.  Hopefully, we'll be releasing a live CD this summer (we are
pretty close to doing it today, but you know the old saw about the
last 5% of the work...).
