 Will it be possible to get some kind of web interface to this, as we've
 got with the parrot CVS server? I, for one, find this really useful.

 Best place to start is probably the POD in Configure.pl (in the main
 parrot directory); then have a look in /config at the scripts that do
 all the real work. Compared to the current Perl 5 build system it should
 be pretty straightforward, since we don't probe for nearly as much at the
 moment.
