I was planning on duplicating on send, as I think the vast majority of
messages sent through the system will only have one destination. The
broadcast messages will be fairly infrequent for the sorts of uses I
imagine for this system. 

As David says, multiple send is much simpler to implement and
simplicity is a very good design goal for an initial implementation.

I was planning on a wrapper function that does a broadcast, just to
make it more convenient for those few places that need broadcast, but
all that function will do is loop over all smbd processes (at least
initially).
