Gord,

It does spawn another instance of Ripple to show the inspector (as a separate process). It doesn't require any more privileges then we already needed (we launch build & deploy on a port as well).

If the port is taken we will randomize and find an open one.

As for security I think you are 100% right, we need to make note that we are doing this since the code would now be visible to anyone that knows your IP address and port that your remote inspector is running.
