Hi!  I've chatted with Niels, and checked in your patches.

I'm not as familiar with the rpc code as Niels is, but it looks like
this one changes the arguments of evrpc_register_generic().  We've
asked people not to use evrpc_register_generic in their code, of
course, so it shouldn't break source compatibility, but it _will_
break binary compatibility.  Not a big deal; we're already breaking
some binary compatibility between 1.4 and 2.0 for other stuff.  Once
2.0 is stable, though, we're going to try to keep the ABI as stable as
we can.
