Soap calls should be darn easy from any COM capable application (read
windows), which is to say, not easily (since nothing COM is easy from C on
windows).

Soap calls are supposed to be darn easy from C on Mac OS X, but I don't
really know anything for sure since I'm not an OS X user, let alone a 
developer.

And there is libsoap for linux.  Looking, looking[1]... 

Well, it is related to the xerces project to my recall, but I can't even 
find the bloody xerces project web page.  Stupid web.

[1]Darn it, why does it always happen that when I try to find a linux package,
I find tons of debian and redhat related pages (indexs, discusion lists, 
package download pages, etc), but have to dig long and hard to find the
package's actual home page?
