I'm looking into refactoring soup-server.c to make it a bit more generic.
Basically, I'd like to handle plain HTTP requests, XML-RPC requests, and
SOAP requests.  It looks doable, but not without API breakage.

It would make soup_server_register() more generic, providing a generic API
for HTTP request/response.  SOAP stuff would move into new soup-soap.[ch]
XML-RPC would end up in soup-xmlrpc.[ch] - these would just piggyback on
the generic API.

Thoughts?

The larger project is an XML (SOAP/XML-RPC) adapter for PostgreSQL making
PostgreSQL into an application server by publishing stored procedures.  The
WSDL would be generated dynamically from the system catalogs.
