This will also be required for supporting
parsing pointers to arrays and arrays of pointers simultaneously.

The main difference in this new version is the extra data structure generated
between the IDL data structure and the NDR parser:
IDL -> NDR -> { ndr_parser, ndr_header, eparser, etc }
This makes the ndr_parser.pm internals much more sane.
Other changes include:
- Remove unnecessary calls with NDR_BUFFERS (for example, GUID doesn't have any buffers, just scalars) as well as some (unnecessary) nested setting of flags.
- Parse array loops in the C code rather then calling ndr_pull_array(). This allows us to have, for example, arrays of pointers or arrays of pointers to arrays, etc..
- Use if() {} rather then if () goto foo; everywhere
- NDR_IN no longer implies LIBNDR_FLAG_REF_ALLOC
- By default, top level pointers are now "ref" (as is the default in
most other IDL compilers). This can be overridden using the
default_pointer_top() property.
- initial work on new ethereal parser generators by Alan DeKok and me
- pidl now writes errors in the standard format used by compilers, which
is parsable by most editors
- ability to warn about the fact that pidl extension(s) have been used,
useful for making sure IDL files work with other IDL compilers.
oh, and there's probably some other things I can't think of right now..

- Always put IID in vtables (useful for asserts)
- Add table to keep track of DCOM proxy classes
- Bunch of smaller bug fixes

DCOM paper in lorikeet. This is the result of 1.5 months work (mainly
figuring out how things *really* work) at the end of 2004.
In general:
- Clearer distinction between COM and DCOM. DCOM is now merely
the glue between DCE/RPC+ORPC and COM. COM can also work without
DCOM now. This makes the code a lot clearer.
- Clearer distinction between NDR and DCOM. Before, NDR had a couple of
"if"s to cope with DCOM, which are now gone.
- Use "real" arguments rather then structures for function arguments in
COM, mainly because most of these calls are local so packing/unpacking
data for every call is too much overhead (both speed- and code-wise)
- Support several mechanisms to load class objects:
- from memory (e.g. part of the current executable, registered at start-up)
- from shared object files
- remotely
- Most things are now also named COM rather then DCOM because that's what it
really is. After an object is created, it no longer matters whether it
was created locally or remotely.
There is a very simple example class that contains
both a class factory and a class that implements the IStream interface.
It can be tested (locally only, remotely is broken at the moment)
by running the COM-SIMPLE smbtorture test.
Still to-do:
- Autogenerate parts of the class implementation code (using the coclass definitions in IDL)
- Test server-side
- Implement some of the common classes, add definitions for common interfaces.
