Copying Tables across machines

[Dennis]

Is there a way to copy a table from one mySQL machine to another without 
implementing replication? The goal is be able to grab a copy of a table 
from some other machine (without regard to master/slave relationships) in 
some programmatic way without having to do a dump, copy file and rebuild.

Something like:

Copy Server:dbase:table to localhost:dbase:table

Any ideas would be appreciated.
