As part of a popularity drive, why don't we add more stuff to AOLserver?

TclLib and tdom in the standard build sound like a good idea. So I believe
is my sessions modules. We could merge their documentation into the
AOLserver docs, so all is in one place. The same with the Tcl man pages,
reformatted to fit in with the rest of the AOLserver docs.

Have a look at the PHP docs and you will see what I mean; everything is in
one place.

Would it make sense to call AOLserver specific commands that can be
replaced with things from standard Tcl or TclLib "deprecated"? (ie:
ns_urlget is still there and documented, but we advise people to use the
Tcl HTTP package instead)

We should also make DB drivers simpler; --with-postgresql and
--with-mysql, etc. build options would make sense. Again, include as much
as we can in a single download.

The goal would be that you can just download and build (or install RPMs or
.debs, if someone wants to create and maintain those) and all you need
will be there, documented in one place on aolserver.com. That would really
lower the barrier to entry by people unfamiliar with Tcl; it will just
seem as if Tcl is part of AOLserver itself.

Cheers,
Bas.
