I don't actually know this library at all (apart from glancing at it a 
couple of times) but this generally looks fine. From the examples I note 
that most invocations of 
'die_on_amqp_error(amqp_get_rpc_reply(conn)....' occur regardless of the 
return value of amqp_channel_open, but apart from that you appear to be 
following the same sequence as the examples/tools do.
