XML-RPC for C/C++ (Xmlrpc-c) Code

/*=============================================================================
                              pstream
===============================================================================

   Client XML transport for Xmlrpc-c based on a very simple byte
   stream.
   
   The protocol we use is the "packet socket" protocol, which
   is an Xmlrpc-c invention.  It is an almost trivial representation of
   a sequence of packets on a byte stream.

   A transport object talks to exactly one server over its lifetime.

   You can create a pstream transport from any file descriptor from which
   you can read and write a bidirectional character stream.  Typically,
   it's a TCP socket.

   This transport is synchronous only.  It does not provide a working
   'start' method.  You have at most one outstanding RPC and wait for
   it to complete.
