* changed the way strings are handled in pidl to a much more general
interface. We now support an arbitrary set of flags to each parser, and these can be used to control the string types. I have provided some common IDL string types in librpc/idl/idl_types.h which needs to be included in every IDL file. * added IDL for the endpoint mapper. Added a test suite that enumerates all endpoints on the server. (This used to be commit d2665f36a75b482ff82733f72ffac938c2acf87a)
