I need to set up a client on a FreeBSD machine that makes an RPC call to
a Windows NT server that doesn't have portmap (it currently runs win32
which - I'm told - doesn't support it). Can I Use the client stub from
the MIDL compiler on the FreeBSD client? I can guess that the errors
from the winerr.h might be a little funky, but...
        If this won't work, am I stuck with hacking together the packets
by hand [sic]?
        Anyone have any ideas?
