*.ah files. Basicaly HTML with Arachne extensions. Used as user interface
pages.

This is replacement for system\ subdirectory in DOS, where *.fnt are
stored in first level and other stuff in subdirectories.

Oh yes, of course.... I would see it immediately, if I will try to install
the package :) This is not issue to discuss, I think ;-) I put it where
I found lynx manual page ;)

Probably yes... but it will be task for e-mail component, I guess. Maybe I
will give up Arachne's internal POP3 client, and use just fetchmail
instead of it. And maybe the same for sendmail. Arachne's internal SMTP
and POP3 is usable, but far from perfect, and I don't feel any real need
for it in Linux enveroment... well, maybe better diagnostics on Arachne
status line. Maybe usage of fetchmail/sendmail will be optional, same as
arachne's external/smtp and external/pop3 in DOS...

The main config file will be real text configuration file, but I would
prefere not to touch /etc hierarchy. Arachne is end user application, not
a system application, even if run by root. The default configuration file
is intended to be read only, and users need chance to cusomtize Arachne
almost totaly. This si why ~/.arachne seems to be good location for
config... but again, I would also like to keep it as customizable as
possible, so maybe search order for config file will be
~/.arachne/
$exepath/../share/arachne (if more people will agree, that
../share/arachne is better than good old style ../lib/arachne ;-)
/etc/arachne/
