The main reason for updating rpc_client/ and rpc_server/ to the newer
interface was the fact that I needed to have something to test with.
It did indeed help me to solve several bugs in the generated code.

Thanks.

The parser generator should work for all IDL files, with the following
exceptions:

- - [string] attributes don't work yet, but I'll be adding these shortly
- - [subcontext] attributes, I'll wait a bit for [subcontext] to be replaced
- - DATA_BLOB is not yet supported

If you hit any bugs, please let me know.

Cheers,

Jelmer
