I strongly dislike the 'rpc' and 'ads' design pattern.  It was a mistake
when we first did it, and reviving it isn't a good idea, except for
compatibility with existing scripts.

We should not require the user to know what the best transports to use
are - we should just detect and use the best depending on what we have
access to.
