Wha... couldn't that have been an if/else ?

Why ? ... let's all

if test -z $DGEE_HOME ; then \
        . @prefix@/share/dgeeenv.sh \
;fi

in all the scripts ? (and fill-in the details about dgeeenv.sh using
configure ?) ie dgeestart.in and all that ?

default CVS tree ...

That's ok .. because the generated file is editable ... But still I think
we can do better than that , especially generating the correct names for
methods using the [WebMethod] value rather than the C# name of the method 
:-)

Does any Reflection newbies want to tackle such a user app  ? (should be
easy , fun & interesting).

Bah ! Python does not need client stubs ! ...

import xmlrpclib
server = xmlrpclib.Server("http://localhost/wstest.dgmx";);
print server.MyMethod("0wn3r");

should work just fine :-)

What I might really like are web interfaces to this ... ie using 
HTML Forms for entry of parameters of C# methods :-) 

http://localhost/wstest.dgmx?protocol=html
http://localhost/wstest.dgmx?protocol=soap
http://localhost/wstest.dgmx?protocol=xmlrpc

Etc ... and allow format decoding that way ?

GUI or Web ?.
