You should be able to do this. The way it works now is just because I 
don't use webware for anything else and it was easier.

Yes.

Right now yes. This is how I run my sites and it of course sucks. I'm 
now working on adding a better mechanism for this. I've added security 
and multiple database support to the system and those will be available 
in the next release. When that release will come ... I don't know. I 
have a lot of changes that I want to make and my time has been 
extremely sporadic.
