While that is cool, one of the reasons we added the built-in web server
was to use it in exactly this sort of scenario. So Anatoliy, go for it.
Make whatever changes you see fit to make it easy to do a --SERVER--

who have ideas and you can team up and either flash it out in a wiki doc
or on irc.
