This discussion is academic now.

The server is about 50 lines of python (with portability and threading
for free). The server will serve about 0.0048 requests/second* and the
process will get swapped out when inactive.

Please feel free to hack something up in the shell, it would be
interesting to compare, and a good exercise in testing the libsoup
introspection support for servers.
