Well, my version ( http://homepage.mac.com/svc/xml-rpc/readme.html ) is 
completely standalone, for both the client and the server part (you 
need the XML parser of course, but only the functional event interface 
part, not any of the dom parts). The amont of non-standard CL code is 
minimal (some minimal networking and multiprocessing).

There are however some advantages to paserve and acl-compat: more 
portable, better tested, more 'pro' HTTP communication. But if you just 
need XML-RPC, then maybe there is some overkill to paserve (but more in 
terms of complexity than resource consumption, IMHO).
