Yes, in CVS, packaging is another issue but having module sin CVS and be 
able to download them from one
place is what i mean.

Currently we have just nssock which is not module anymore per se, just 
an attachement to core http driver
for loading more than once instance which is not always clear. May be we 
can teach http driver to bind to as many
addresses without loading different modules.
Then nscgi - usefull, nsco - usefull, nsperm - ???, nsext - ???

Not much to have working server, some DB modules should be there, at 
least PG, MySQL, SQLite,
thi is the main selling pitch currentlu for AS, native DB support and DB 
pooling but none of the DB modules
included.

Can we move "tcl" from modules/ to the top, ussually modules are
empty directory with tcl entry only, do you use modules/ at all?

Also in my installations i use etc/ for all config files, at least i 
have nsd.tcl and mime.tcl(with huge list of all mime types)
there plus some other config specific files. Do you think this is usefull?


Here is my structure ( i am not sugesting it, just show what i use):

/usr/local/ns
    bin/
    lib/
    html/
    include/
    etc/
    logs/
    tcl/
