Since rpcclient in HEAD has recently been pulled 
out of TNG, I agree the changes in TNG should be 
brought down.  I just really need to keep 
rpcclient in HEAD working for the moment and don't 
have time to merge major changes right now.  That's 
all.

If we could avoid unions that would be great.  I 
really **hate** them.
