I suspect this project's resources would be better spent using
an already-existing web server.  I have no suggestion of whether
that should be apache or zope or thttpd (if we want something
really small), but I don't think we bring any special ideas to
the writing of a new web server.  Even if that takes only 300
lines, I'd rather see those 300 lines spent on a "really Fly
installer" than a hum-drum web server.
