Re: Bad rap

We have multiple apps, and we just switch in and out our auth/page 
wrapper/logging/debugging code as we need to, if some one else comes up 
with an app we tell them what they do to get the information and "jobs a 
good-un", much simpler than having multiple embedded 
login/authentication/... methods... We know because other projects use 
the style frameworks you are talking about - and we go you just XYZ, and 
then realize that they are using some nginx/psgi/starman solution and 
have to go - aargh - no you can't just do that - you will have to 
re-engineer your app!
