It would be nice to move all the adapters off somewhere.  The C-based
adapters are already separated anyway.  I think cleaning up the WebKit
directory is worth it, since it's so central.

I just looked at it, and thttpd looks pretty minimal.  I think wkcgi is
the only option... unless maybe you wanted to hack mod_webkit-like
functionality directly into it and recompile.  Seems too hard, but maybe
you could modify thttpd's CGI code to do it.

Yes, it is quite small, but it's supposed to be very fast due to its use of
select().

What are the pros and cons of Xitame vs Apache with Webware? I only became
aware of it after your posting about the adapter...

Oops, I spelled it wrong -- Xitami.  I don't know, I haven't actually
used it.  Jim Madsen <jmadsen@...> submitted the adapter, and
is solely responsible for it, but I figured it should do no harm to toss
it in with the rest of them.  People were talking about it as an
easy-to-install server (especially on Windows), though some people tried
it and eventually felt less than pleased (though I can't remember the
issues).

How about an "Adapters" subdirectory under WebKit?

We could move the existing adapters like WebKit.cgi, OneShot.cgi, etc. there
too.
