That would be useful and defintely makes sense to easily reduce the size
for Mustang.
In the future this may also be useful for customers that need to provide
some information on a bug e.g. we are planning to provide plubable
transports, and such a plugable transport could be the local transport.
Using the local transport without any client code modifications could be
any easy to not only debug client/server in one address space but also
to get access to SOAP messages.
