Added Hello() method to XML-RPC server

Enhanced rteval with trying to access the Hello() method.  If the
server responds (even if Hello() is not available), rteval will
continue to run.  If the server is not accessible, rteval will abort.

In a future version, rteval should expect a proper response to the
XML-RPC Hello() call.
