Hi, David.

Your solution sounds like it was interesting to write!  cgiproxy sounds
cool.

But I'm having a hard time thinking of a good reason to actually deploy
this.  For development, obviously just use the Spyce server on your
local machine.  For production, a VPS from someone like westhost is so
cheap -- you can usefully run Spyce for $7/month -- that I don't see
saving another few dollars in exchange for "the service may be down
randomly until cron restarts it, and if it gets popular, that will be
increasingly often" as being worth it.

I hope you stay enthusiastic about Spyce now that I've rained on your
parade. :)
