[haXe] first visit and first questions

[Frank]

Hi,

thx for the quick answer.

changing some files from haxe.remoting.Server to neko.net.RemotingServer 
was all.
I think it's easier to do this w/ a decent editor than to apply a patch, 
so I attached none.

And it even solved the first issue, if I now only would know whether a 
and b or c and d or whatever ;)

regards, Frank
