There is no such server yet. However, the latest version in CVS works as a
bonobo component (bonobo is the gnome component system). There is a simple
"ghemical" app that is just a bonobo container that contains an object,
which is provided by a more complicated app "ghemical-server". My initial
plan is that one could start ghemical-server using a special argument like
ghemical-server --socketserver 500
that would not start it as a bonobo server but instead would make it
listen the port 500.

Yep, it should be able to handle many requests simultaneously, probably by
starting them as separate threads. On the other hand if the web server
could launch it similarly using arguments like
ghemical-server --remoteclient some_other_arguments
it would be almost equivalent. It would be slightly slower since at start
ghemical-server reads in several parameter files. Unfortunately I'm not
familiar with cgi and web servers.
