Ah, the XMLRPC block automatically adds callback functions for the
variables. That's a great startpoint. Thanks a lot. Now I finally know
why someone would need an XMLRPC in DSP ;)

I hope it doesn't add any latency to the equation like: RPC command +
UHD command + FPGA reaction + RF frontend. I'm not even sure if using
the C++ API would be any different. So my Monday morning experiment
now is set ;)
