orry if i'm quoting myself, but i feel i could have reported more

i'm thinking about using this library: http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/
which features the infrastructure of a solid http daemon (abyss, on top
of w3c-libwww library) for running a xml-rpc server accepting registered
function calls.

as it is today, xml-rpc bindings are available for several languages:
* Python, Java, Perl, TCL, ASP, COM, PHP, Zope, AppleScript, REBOL,
* Dylan, Common LISP, Real Basic, UserLand Frontier,
and even macromedia flash.. :)

i think icecast could take advantage of xmlrpc-c to have a complete and
practical admin interface, also relying on pretty well mantained code.
