I went for a new name because rpcgen was just rpcgen, and the new
package is rpcgen + includes.
Actually initially i didn't want to touch rpcgen at all, and just
make onc-rpc-headers, however after that i thought that both packages
are quite small, so it makes sense to merge them. After all, .x files
are useless without rpcgen and vice versa. And both are used for
development only.

Original sunrpc package consists of these includes and portmap.
onc-rpc-devel now has includes, and rpcbind is a new portmap. So, as a
result, none of two new packages alone completely obsoletes sunrpc, but both
of them do. How to specify this ?
As to the rest of notes, i'll fix that.
