/* A simple asynchronous XML-RPC client program written in C, as an example of
   Xmlrpc-c asynchronous RPC facilities.  This is the same as the 
   simpler synchronous client xmlprc_sample_add_client.c, except that
   it adds 3 different pairs of numbers with the summation RPCs going on
   simultaneously.

   Use this with xmlrpc_sample_add_server.  Note that that server
   intentionally takes extra time to add 1 to anything, so you can see
   our 5+1 RPC finish after our 5+0 and 5+2 RPCs.
