RpcService - support RPC between a service and its clients

RpcService(intport)RpcService(constchar*path,intport=0)
              Start up an RPC service.  If a filename is given, record  the  RPC  service's  hostname  and  port
              number  in  it so clients can contact the service.  If ``port'' is zero, the next free port number
              will be used.

       An RpcService (actually, an instance of a derived class) creates a port and listens to it for connections
       from  clients.   When  a  client  opens  a  connection, the RpcService will create a reader to handle RPC
       requests from the connection.

virtualvoidcreateReader(intfd)=0
              You must define this function in a derived class in order to start servicing RPC requests  from  a
              new  client.   Typically  all  you  have  to  do  is  to  construct a reader using the passed file
              descriptor and make the reader responsible for deleting itself when it notices that the connection
              has been closed by the client.

voidrun()voidquitRunning()
              Read RPC requests continuously until ``quitRunning()''  terminates  the  loop.   If  you're  using
              InterViews,  you  don't  have  to call ``run()'' since the InterViews event-reading code will also
              read RPC requests.
