This guy needs a name if I'm ever going to start coding it. How about: Wine Remote Procedure Call System Server aka wrpcss.exe.so? A little misleading with the "ss" thing, but this name will look familiar to windows users, and is more accurate than my previous idea of wine-epmap, since it will eventually need to do more than just endpoint mapping.
If it's ever going to be compatible with Windows rpcss.exe then we should use the same name. Otherwise winerpcss.exe would probably be better to avoid potential name collisions.
That's a good question... would/should/could our thing ever be compatible with the windows one?
I think I'd say dunno/maybe/yes. There's no terribly good reason to make it compatible, but I know of no terribly good reason not to either (except for the fact that we don't know exactly how much stuff it does - I think it does RPC/DCOM registrations, DCOM object activation, and probably hosts the Running Object Table). It's probably wisest to make it as compatible as we know how anyway, just in case.
