In trying to meld Tux to fit our particular needs and wants, I have
had to make 2 different changes to the source, and I would think that
both of them would be things other people would be interested in.  The
way in which I made the changes would mean that every time a new patch
came out the changes would need to be manually added back in.

1) Pass through all unknown mime types.  To accomplish this I modified
the default mime_type to be:
static mimetype_t default_mimetype = { type: "text/plain", type_len:
10, expire_str: "", expire_str_len: 0, special: MIME_TYPE_REDIRECT };
This allows us to only serve files which we know are static.  Pretty
much ever non-image file on our server is a dynamic page.

2) Change the default index page name.  This is just changing the
define for INDEX.  


I would Tux could allow both of these to be modified through the proc
without too much difficulty, and it would make life a bit easier for
some people.

Who are we?  We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a
humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner
of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.
