Hi Uli,
I expect the work you're doing to merge mosesserver with command-line
may have some overlap with some challenges we've identified with our
cross-platform work. Specifically, we've identified the XMLRPC-c library
will be problematic to build on Windows.
Current command-line moses doesn't use the library's RPC functionality.
Rather, it parses embedded XML tags as commands to change moses behavior
per segment (e.g. "add this pair to the phrase table for this sentence".
To make ease Windows development, we have been considering options that
avoid the XMLRPC-c issues on Windows. One option would use
Boost.PropertyTree
(http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/doc/html/property_tree.html, and
https://akrzemi1.wordpress.com/2011/07/13/parsing-xml-with-boost/) to
parse the XML commands. On initial review, the XMLRPC-c library
references are spread throughout and could make such an extraction
difficult. So, we've deferred a deeper look and simply bypassed this
challenge in favor of making progress without it, i.e. we're not using
the --with-xmlrpc-c switch.
As part of your work to merge the server into command line, do you see
benefit (or risks) in separating the two XML functionalities, or
consolidating the "command-parsing" mode? Could some of the preparation
work be merged into your work to add server to command line?
Thanks.

Dear all,
I have spotted there were numerous commits in the server side
development - could the developers share the news/goals with the
forum? I think it might be interesting for more users – especially
those out of core team.
Thank you,
