I was thinking more of having the user pass in one or more callbacks into 
register.  If you look at the patch that adds ib_sa_send_mad(), there's very 
little difference between the implementation of any of the queries.  The 
differences result from the query callback prototype; otherwise their code could 
be exactly the same.

I think this can come later, but is a worthwhile change.
