Hi Jim

I agree adding NCIP support would be great, and there was/is a project
called openncip that was set up to do just that.
So speaking as one of the members of the community, are you willing to
sponsor some work on it ? :-)

Maybe you can get together some like minded libraries, write up an
enhancement request and then get someone to work on it.
