 *   adding cvs log to history section
 *
 *   10/15/2000 -- danda -- adding robodoc documentation
 *   08/2000 -- danda -- PHP C extension that uses XMLRPC                     
 *   08/2000 -- danda -- support for two vocabularies: danda-rpc and xml-rpc
 *   09/1999 -- danda -- Initial API, before I even knew of standard XMLRPC vocab. Response only.
 *   07/2000 -- danda -- wrote new implementation to be compatible with xmlrpc standard and
 *                       incorporated some ideas from ensor, most notably the separation of
 *                       xml dom from xmlrpc api.
 *   06/2000 -- danda -- played with expat-ensor from www.ensor.org.  Cool, but some flaws.
 * TODO
 * PORTABILITY
 *   Coded on RedHat Linux 6.2.  Builds on Solaris x86.  Should build on just
 *   about anything with minor mods.
 * NOTES
 *   Welcome to XMLRPC.  For more info on the specification and history, see
 *   http://www.xmlrpc.org.
 *
 *   This code aims to be a full-featured C implementation of XMLRPC.  It does not
 *   have any networking code.  Rather, it is intended to be plugged into apps
 *   or libraries with existing networking facilities, eg PHP, apache, perl, mozilla, 
 *   home-brew application servers, etc.
 *
 *   Usage Paradigm:
 *     The user of this library will typically be implementing either an XMLRPC server,
 *     an XMLRPC client, or both.  The client will use the library to build an in-memory
 *     representation of a request, and then serialize (encode) that request into XML. The
 *     client will then send the XML to the server via external mechanism.  The server will
 *     de-serialize the XML back into an binary representation, call the appropriate registered
 *     method -- thereby generating a response.  The response will be serialized into XML and
 *     sent back to the client.  The client will de-serialize it into memory, and can
 *     iterate through the results via API.
 *
 *     Both the request and the response may consist of arbitrarily long, arbitrarily nested
 *     values.  The values may be one of several types, as defined by XMLRPC_VALUE_TYPE.
 *
 *   Features and Architecture:
 *     - The XML parsing (xml_element.c) is completely independent of the XMLRPC api. In fact,
 *       it can be used as a standalone dom implementation.
 *     - Because of this, the same XMLRPC data can be serialized into multiple xml vocabularies.
 *       It is simply a matter of writing a transport.  So far, two transports have been defined.
 *       The default xmlrpc vocab (xml_to_xmlrpc.c), and simple-rpc (xml_to_dandarpc.c) which is 
 *       proprietary, but imho more readable, and nice for proprietary legacy reasons.
 *     - Various output options, including: xml escaping via CDATA or entity, case folding,
 *       vocab version, and character encoding.
 *     - One to One mapping between C structures and actual values, unlike ensor which forces
 *       one to understand the arcana of the xmlrpc vocab.
 *     - support for mixed indexed/keyed vector types, making it more compatible with 
 *       languages such as PHP.
 *     - quite speedy compared to implementations written in interpreted languages. Also, uses
 *       intelligent string handling, so not many strlen() calls, etc.
 *     - comprehensive API for manipulation of values

 *   XMLRPC_VALUE XMLRPC_UtilityCreateFault( int fault_code, const char* fault_string )
 * FUNCTION
 *   generates a struct containing a string member with id "faultString" and an int member
 *   with id "faultCode". When using the xmlrpc xml serialization, these will be translated
 *   to <fault><value><struct>... format.
 * INPUTS
 *   fault_code     application specific error code. can be 0.
 *   fault_string   application specific error string.  cannot be null.
 * RESULT
 *   XMLRPC_VALUE a newly created struct vector representing the error, or null on error.
 * NOTES
 *   This is a utility function. xmlrpc "faults" are not directly represented in this xmlrpc
 *   API or data structures. It is the author's view, that this API is intended for simple
 *   data types, and a "fault" is a complex data type consisting of multiple simple data
 *   types.  This function is provided for convenience only, the same result could be
 *   achieved directly by the application.
 *
 *   This function now supports some "standardized" fault codes, as specified at.
 *   http://xmlrpc-epi.sourceforge.net/specs/rfc.fault_codes.php.
 *   If one of these fault codes is received, the description string will automatically
 *   be prefixed with a standard error string and 2 newlines.  
 *
 *   The actual transformation between this complex type and the xml "<fault>" element takes
 *   place in the xmlrpc to xml serialization layer.  This step is not performed when using the
 *   simplerpc serialization, meaning that there will be no "<fault>" element in that
 *   serialization. There will simply be a standard struct with 2 child elements.  
 *   imho, the "<fault>" element is unnecessary and/or out of place as part of the standard API.
