I'd like to add the new development version of SWS (not released yet)
introduces the concept of "adaptor" - it can run as standalone
application (listens on its own TCP port), as FastCGI script and CGI
program (there are some issues with the last one). I'll soon add a
mod_ruby adaptor, but the last two will definitely be discouraged.
