Well, I'm not sure whether there should be a setBasicAuthentication() method
on XmlRpcTransport, maybe a setAuthenticationInfo(Properties authInfo), and
some standard properties (like USERNAME, PASSWORD).
As far as {Default, Lite}XmlRpcTransport are concerned, there is no reason
why they can't have a setBasicAuthentication method. This can be called
after
creating the transport and before passing it to anything else.
