Thanks ! 

Have downloaded the patches, will start taking a look at updating them to a 
single patch file to apply to the current trunk/.

One thing to clarify - in looking over comments for 777, there was mention of 
JIRA-778 ( schema compiler ) code overlap. I'd like to focus on just the RPC 
mechanism in the patch's rpc.c; My understanding of AVRO is using a compiled 
schema is an optimization but not a requirement for AVRO's rpc. Or am I missing 
something ( that I'll probably discover as I dig in more ) ?

Hi Geoff,

There's a JIRA issue open for RPC support in the C bindings:

  https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-777

This includes a patch, but we've had some API changes since then, so it doesn't 
apply cleanly.  I think that would be a fantastic starting point if you're 
willing to contribute some development effort fixing any merge conflicts.  And 
I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about the changes and how 
they relate to the RPC patch.

cheers
