Yes, we can remove the hack that tries to autodetect relative pointers.
But I think we should expose an api that allows the caller to force the
usage of just _blob(). Remember sometimes windows sends garbage at the
end of NDR encoded DCERPC pakets. That might also happen in other parts.
It would be bad if only C code can work arround this problem.

I think a keyword parameter to the ndr_unpack method would be good for this.
