C API for Bugzilla

[Colin Bendell]

Is there a reason why this discussion is focusing on a C API or curl for
interfacing to bz instead of a web services implementation?  From my
perspective it would be much easier if I just had to make a bunch of
soap calls to do the work I needed.  This way the calling app can be
platform / language independent.
