BSD-licensed, tiny, locale-independent, no dependencies, embeds nicely.
I'm looking for feedback from other addon developers and hoping to get addons other than Grid using it .
Get it here:

Code:
--[[ DOCUMENTATION
Description:
CastCommLib is an embedded library for communicating spell casts and their
targets using the AddonMessage channel. Addons can register with CastCommLib
to receive notification of these messages.
CastCommLib will use ChatThrottleLib if it is available.
API:
CastCommLib:RegisterCallback(key, func)
-- Adds a callback funciton to be invoked when a spell event is received
--
-- If key is a table, then func must be a string and the callback will be
-- invoked as:
-- key[func](key, sender, senderUnit, action, target, channel, spell, rank,
-- displayName, icon, startTime, endTime, isTradeSkill)
-- otherwise func must be a function and will be invoked as:
-- func(sender, senderUnit, action, target, channel, spell, rank,
-- displayName, icon, startTime, endTime, isTradeSkill)
--
-- string sender:
-- the name of the character that sent the event
-- string senderUnit:
-- the unitid of the character that sent the event
-- string action:
-- one of "START", "DELAYED", "INTERRUPTED", "FAILED", "SUCCEEDED",
-- "CHANNEL_START", "CHANNEL_UPDATE", or "CHANNEL_STOP".
-- depending on the event that caused the message to be sent
-- string target:
-- the name of the target for the spell
-- boolean channel:
-- if the spell is channeled
-- string spell:
-- the name of the spell
-- string rank:
-- the rank of the spell
-- string displayName:
-- the name of the spell (not sure how this differes from spell, but it's
-- from UnitCastingInfo())
-- string icon:
-- the path to the texture for the spell
-- number startTime:
-- the time the spell started casting/channeling
-- number endTime:
-- the time the spell will finish casting/channeling
-- boolean isTradeSkill:
-- if the spell is a tradeskill
--
-- Usage:
-- CastCommLib:RegisterCallback(MyAddon, "CastCommLib")
-- or
-- CastCommLib:RegisterCallback("MyAddon", OnCastCommLibReceived)
CastCommLib:UnregisterCallback(key)
