You don't have to worry about the xml-rpc stuff, there is enough api available.
It's just a matter of making a message, populating it with the function 
name and parameters, making a connection, sending the message and 
processing the response.
The difficulty is the authorization. The current mechanism requires you to 
add a line to the http-header. With some high-level api that is not possible.
