These are the additional files required to describe the XDR-based 
protocol for client-server communications, with the homebrew RPC 
mechanism on top.  The first file is the protocol itself.

The second file is a Perl script to run after rpcgen which allows the 
code to compile with -Wall -Werror -fstrict-aliasing, and fixes a 64 bit 
bug (that fix really should go upstream BTW).  The strict-aliasing issue 
isn't fully fixed yet - I expect that eventually we should compile 
remote_protocol.c with -fno-strict-aliasing, for safety.  Daniel 
Veillard also asked that this be rewritten in Python (pah!) which I 
might do at the same time.

The last two files are the actual rpcgen-generated rpcgen_fix-fixed 
code.  I put these two files into EXTRA_DIST because I feel that people 
shouldn't be required to have rpcgen & Perl just to compile libvirt. 
(These files are arch-independent so there is no need to recompile them 
unless remote_protocol.x itself changes).

Rich.
