The protocol message format is as follows:
[HEADER: 16 bytes: 4 x Network Order uint32_t][ VARIABLE LENGTH BODY ]
[ MAGIC_CODE ] [ MSG_ID ] [ REQ_ID ] [ BODY_SIZE ] [ ........ BODY ......... ]
MagicCode = 0x137f0001 ... this will be incremented for new versions of the protocol.
MsgID = Corresponds to the format of the Body.
ReqID = Generated by Requester, Returned in Response, make sure its unique. (undefined behaviour for duplicates)
BodySize = Byte Length of Body.
The Body will consist of a protobuf encoded message.
For the moment, the RPC server just ECHOs the request back to the sender - for testing purposes.
Usage:
* Create SSH connection to retroshare-nogui.
* Create Request Message(s), and send over SSH channel - You can send as meny requests as you want.
* They will processed, and responses sent back (potentially in an arbitary order).
Specific Changes here:
* Modified rssshd to support arbitary recv/send applications. (interface is RpcComms).
* Added rpc directory, with server, setup and echo service.
* Modified Menu System to use the new interface to rssshd
* Wrote new matching interface for Terminal Usage.
- NOTE: Strange BUG in Terminal version.... causes stderr to disappear. TODO.
* Added -C commandline option to switch on RPC system.
This is the first version - so I expect there will be bugs. Please report for a prompt fix!

* Using libssh in a seperate thread.
* Binds to fixed port, and accepts connections from standard SSH clients.
* Only an Echo Server at the moment: Interface to be decided yet.
* Only accepts 1 connection, 2nd connection hangs at the moment.
* A long way to go before it will be useful!
