I agree with Andrew here -- "framework" is used in many circumstances
to indicate a pre-existing structure or set of components which can be
used to build something;  "web development framework" clearly has
nothing to do with daemons.  So "framework" is (from what I gather,
not having actually looked at the code) the exact word to describe the
code.
