RPC framework

[Jelmer Vernooij]

> currently I am working on documenting the protocol used by MS-Exchange
> and its clients (ie. Outlook). It mainly uses MS-RPC calls and LDAP.

> The goal of this documentation is to be able to code an exchange
> replacement on *nix, much the way samba does for fileserving now.

> What I would like to see is to be able to register small programs
> to a RPC-server, so samba and the exchange replacement could run
> together on the same machine. It would also allow for easy 
> extensibility for "new" RPC calls throughout samba.

> What I would like to know if the current developers/contributors
> to the samba codebase would be interested in incorporating something 
> like this, because when a project like the exchange replacement
> would really take of I see us sharing a lot of code and to copy
> it would be a waste of effort and experience imho.
