Services.exe can start standalone services (.exe files) but controlling 
them is impossible because of missing RPC code in the service manager.

Yes! Eventlog and umpnpmgr are already working this way.

I'm working on WIDL in order to implement the service control code in 
services.exe and advapi32.dll.

Btw, right now I don't have much time for hacking except for the 
weekends because I am attending a 6-month programming course. I hope to 
add the next feature to WIDL by the weekend.
