50 * XDR an indirect pointer
51 * xdr_reference is for recursively translating a structure that is
52 * referenced by a pointer inside the structure that is currently being
53 * translated. pp references a pointer to storage. If *pp is null
54 * the necessary storage is allocated.
55 * size is the size of the referneced structure.
56 * proc is the routine to handle the referenced structure.
