I've been busy with work as well.  I did get a chance to play a little last 
night.

After studying through mktclapp last night it and it might be easier to just 
borrow some of the nml code from emcshell.cc and do the nml thing.  
I may be wrong, but it looks like we would have to load the emc extensions 
with mktclapp anyhow.  I tried a few test programs to return the emc_platform 
string, no success.

Tonight I will try to build a standalone C app that will talk to emc.
