9 Much of the difficulty with the original webapp-config was that it was
10 designed to work on Windows. Stuart's plan was to create a distribution
11 and operating system independent way of dealing with web apps, sort of
12 like CPAN; Gentoo was merely the testbed. If your goals don't match
13 that, you're probably better rethinking everything than trying to revive
14 something that was designed for a completely different purpose.
