/* A simple synchronous XML-RPC client program written in C, as an example of
   an Xmlrpc-c client.  This invokes the sample.add procedure that the
   Xmlrpc-c example xmlrpc_sample_add_server.c server provides.  I.e. it adds
   two numbers together, the hard way.

   This sends the RPC to the server running on the local system ("localhost"),
   HTTP Port 8080.
