I'm not sure I like the recent change that requires install.py to be run 
before you can use the AppServer.

I use Perforce for source control, and I have Webware checked into 
Perforce.  Periodically I update my Perforce copy of Webware from Webware's 
CVS repository.  Unlike CVS, Perforce uses a system where you must 
explicitly "check out" files in order to edit them.  Otherwise, the files 
remain read-only in your filesystem.

But "install.py" actually modifies files that are checked into CVS.  This 
means that I can't run Webware from a Perforce workspace without checking 
out a bunch of files (to make them read-write) and running 
"install.py".  Then I end up with a handful of checked out files that I 
never actually intend to check in.  I used to be able to just run Webware 
directly out of a Perforce workspace without any such messing around.

I feel that install.py shouldn't modify any files that are under source 
control.  I'm fine with it creating _new_ files however.

Either that or we shouldn't require running install.py.

(In the meantime, I'll probably just fake it out by putting a "_installed" 
file into the Webware directory in Perforce.)
