This changes the rsh protocol to allow reporting failure in getting an
object without breaking the connection, and to allow other types of
request than for objects to be made. It is a preliminary to any more
extensive pull operation.

I wanted to apply it but then I figured out that I will better hold it
and ask you what do you think about it now after few weeks. ;-) Should I
still go on and apply it to Cogito?

At this point, I want to also put in a protocol version number. I'll send
a replacement patch in a bit.
