I don't know whether porting rpcrt4 is a good idea.

RPC is used for the communication of the SCM (Service Control Manager aka
services.exe) and the services (via advapi32.dll). Rpcss itself is a
services started by the SCM. Therefore, the RPC core components (rpcss.exe,
rpcrt4.dll and advapi32.dll) have to be part of the reactos cvs module.

I suggest we rip the usable pieces of rpcrt4 from Wine and combine them with
the already 'removed' parts of the reactos rpcrt4. Now that services.exe can
load drivers, I can easily add code to start services. And since named pipes
are already available it should not be too difficult to get the
SCM<->service communication going.
