If you're going to rewrite rpcclient, may I suggest you build a library
instead and link the new rpcclient with it.
This way il will be easier to build the other programs and it will be
possible to create bindings for perl or whatever interpreted language
you may want.
Right now rpcclient and smbclient are very useful, but using them
in non-interactive mode is a bit of a pain (expect is handy, but
sometime you want greater control).

Summary: give me a library and I'll give you the perl bindings:-)
