+ * some errors printed by CGIs to stderr don't end up making it

* bad use of chdir in some places; it isn't thread-specific
+
+ * handle bugs that make it pop up errors on console, ie. segv

+ * install

+ - config in cvs tree?
+ - install docs, etc.?
+ - location for install

+ * the mutex should be critical-regions, since the current design

+ * CGIs

+ - docs on how they work w/scripts
+ - use registry to find interpreter?
+ - WTF is the buffering coming from?
+
+ * performance

+ * documentation:
+ - running the server without admin
+ - how CGIs work
+ - update README.NT
+ - short/long name handling

+ * who should run the service? Who exactly is the "system account"?
+
+ docs say:
+
+ Localsystem is a very privileged account locally, so you shouldn't run
+ any shareware applications there. However, it has no network privileges
+ and cannot leave the machine via any NT-secured mechanism, including
+ file system, named pipes, DCOM, or secure RPC.
+
+ and:
+
+ A service that runs in the context of the LocalSystem account
+ inherits the security context of the SCM. It is not associated with
+ any logged-on user account and does not have credentials (domain
+ name, user name, and password) to be used for verification. This
+ has several implications: [... removed ...]

+
+ That _really_ sucks. Can we recommend running Apache as some
