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

===============================================================================

   RPC server based on a very simple byte stream and XML-RPC XML
   (But this is not an XML-RPC server because it doesn't use HTTP).
   
   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.

   You can create a pstream server from any file descriptor from which
   you can read and write a bidirectional character stream.  Typically,
   it's a TCP socket.  Such a server talks to one client its entire life.

   Some day, we'll also have a version that you create from a "listening"
   socket, which can talk to multiple clients serially (a client connects,
   does some RPCs, and disconnects).
