tridge,

i want to be able to copy the entire lib/rpc subtree to other
applications.  i also want to keep the CODING.STANDARDS file in lib/rpc as
a "warning" to people (you are now entering a DMZ.  proceed with caution)

lib_rpc/server
lib_rpc/parse
lib_rpc/include

... is fine.

i also intend at some point to do this:

lib/rpc/server/samr
lib/rpc/server/lsa
lib/rpc/server/srv
lib/rpc/server/wks

etc.

so flattening to a one-level structure now won't make much difference.
