VFS capabilities are one thing, which AOLServer should support
(part of the core).  To be included in a starkit or starpack
(see http://wiki.tcl.tk/starkit) requires a thread-safe metakit,
and I'm not 100% confident that it is after talking with
Jean-Claude Wippler (author of metakit).  That would be the one
thing that needs verification.

I do know that people have turned tclhttpd into a starpack, so
such a thing is possible.  Also, any extensions used have to
either be statically built into the base kit or be stubs-based,
as that is a starpack requirement (can't have dependencies on
external Tcl/Tk libs).

I don't know why, but xotcl does:

If you don't already have a body of incr Tcl code, just use
xotcl (more "Tao of Tcl" compatible in any case).
