Yes, xmlrpc-c is also unsupported AFAIK as Eric is busy with other
things. Also, I wrote a simple client to my py-xmlrpc/apache-based
server last night (oh the joys of jet-lag ;-) and found it seriously
lacking performance - on my laptop connecting to a localhost server my
python-based client does about 130 connections/sec, while the xmlrpc-c
client does only 16/sec.

Sounds good.
