The changes make sense in the patch make sense. Btw, you seem to've
missed one instance of "dcerpc_rpcecho" during search-n-replace.

NDR_PROXY takes care of the packing/unpacking of the structures and
functions in your IDL file. RPC_NDR_PROXY contains the functions for
making remote requests (RPC_NDR_PROXY uses NDR_PROXY internally). 

NDR_TABLE is used by the "ndrdump" debugging utility.

RPC_EJS_PROXY is for the JavaScript bindings of your RPC interface.

You can use pidl to generate a template for rpc_proxy.c:

$ ./pidl/pidl --template -- librpc/idl/proxy.idl >
rpc_server/proxy/rpc_proxy.c

Cheers,
