  Probably was http://www.cannonexpress.com:1080.

  I have a lot to clean up in it. I will try to get to it
  sometime this week or next, I have been preoccupied with
  getting a new daughter (Rebecca Leigh Tillman, 21:07 Thursday,
  8 lbs, 20 in).

  My current plans for it are to abstract it into three components:

    1. Guile specific networking code (or STk specific, etc).

    2. HTTP protocol handler.

    3. URL handler.

  The purpose for part one is so that it won't have so many guile-isms
  throughout the code.

  Part two is so that http capabilities can easily be added to application.

  Part three will be needed to complete a standalone server.

  At the moment, everything works except that I am not parsing out
  the CGI data (trivial).
