This is how it always starts and in the end we end up with a mess again.

It is *only* one module and then 10 and then nobody are about loading them as 
a module anymore and then from 10, 8 of then only work if linked statically.

We had this in the past and it ended always like that. That's simply why I 
don't like it. I'm fine if *all* RPC services are compiled and loaded as a 
module.


If the majority thinks this is a good idea, then I will review the code. From 
a quick look I already have several comments ...
