I'm looking for something that can be delivered to both Linux and 
Windows users, and for the Windows users I need to be able to provide a 
very simple install, so it should preferably be deliverable as a 
all-in-one package. I had so far considered using servlets, which can be 
bundled with Jetty (or Jo!) pretty easily as a install-and-run wepapp, 
but since I want to use Berkeley DB/XML for data storage I am looking at 
alternate implementation platforms since I can't dual-license my stuff, 
using BDB/XML, if I use Java. Any interpreted language with its primary 
implementation in Open Source will do. So far I've identified
* Perl, OK, but I'd prefer something with a better OO system,
* Python, I'm not a huge fan, but I'll use it if I must,
* PHP. Yuck!, and
* Ruby, OK, but not the same installed base, and I haven't yet found 
production/stable webserving platforms for it yet.

I'd be glad to hear about other contenders.
