I think the extra layer would be useful.  As Chris pointed out, there 
are existing Perl and Java client side libraries for accessing omeis, 
which could serve as a nice skeleton for a C version.  The Perl library 
is on the OME::Image::Server library in our source code; the Java 
library is in the org.openmicroscopy.is.HttpImageServer class.  (The 
Java code is in its own repository in CVS; you'll need to check out the 
OME-JAVA module instead of the OME module.)
