LibC NCP requests now fully working

LibC NCP requests now fully working

Hi all,
already back in 2005-04 Russ did implement the NCP request support in LibC, 
and that workded basically these days...; but some time later the functions 
were changed in the headers, and since my project which used it these days 
was finally moved onto Linux I got no further time to test with it.
Now I had another project where I urgent needed the NCP request feature to do 
some tasks from LibC, and so could again spent some time and dig deeper into 
this.
I found a few bugs which prevented my things from working, but Jeff did a 
really great job and fixed these things in a very short time, and except one 
outstanding small bug it seems that NCP requests are now fully working from 
LibC! A big thanks to Jeff!
I did now test with about 10 different NCP requests, and all work fine so 
far...
This makes it now possible to do nearly everything from LibC which the XPLAT 
calls do from CLIB, just you need to send NCP requests instead of using 
functions.
Here are some samples I've put together which you can try:

If you want to test these samples its required to use a libc dated 2007-09-12 
or later (you can contact me through my forum to get my test version):
