Re: New binaries

Thanks Dave et al,

Is there a recipe/script anywhere that builds that image from the
source code?  If so, it would presumably be not too difficult to strip
it down to build an image without the Windows (or any) UI (presumably
with an alternate error handler).

I would find that far more accessible than trying to run in Windows
via Fusion (in my 36 year career, I've probably spent less than a
dozen hours on Windows - so I'm a bit crippled in that environment)

This is exciting!  There is some work on a SeasideXUL UI, and I have a
grad student who will be working on a portable Seaside UI (a la Web
Velocity), so I'm not very interested in porting the existing UI.  I'm
also very interested in building web servers without any UI.
