    TPFUG: Move APIs under "SOAP bridge related APIs" in c_soap.h to another header file as they are more general use APIs, and IBM is deprecating SOAP and don't want to lose the code

    Programs that use primarily the "tpf_convertToAMSG()" and "tpf_convertFromOMSG()" APIs under the "SOAP bridge related APIs" in c_soap.h are more general use APIs. IBM is not going to support SOAP after this summer so we'd like these APIs to be mov...
