Well, I'm not sure how renaming stuff in the distribution changes
anything.  If you mean that you want to install the rpc headers as
gssrpc/*.h, then you should be careful to document that using gssrpc
headers and the vendor's rpc headers in the same program is unlikely
to work.  gssrpc should be compatible with the vendor rpc, though.
