Hi Geoff,

I am so sorry we left you out of the loop. My fault.

For ease of distribution and other reasons,
we're trying to have one executable image that does different things
under different names.
There's lots of this in unix.
Example /bin/awk symlinked to /bin/gawk,
same program having so much overlap,
but does some slightly different things depending on argv[0],
on how it's called, whether awk or gawk.
Same for /bin/bash and /bin/sh, etc.
So we want edbrowse and edbrowse-js, but the same image,
the former still invoking the latter just like you have it.
I'm not sure the best approach here for windows,
feel free to edit cmakelists if there's any better way.

We may also have edbrowse-curl, again the same image but doing different things,
maybe others in the future.

Glad to hear sockets still works after 15 years,
though we may add udp, which was never there before.
This has some advantages for many to many communications,
many threads in this process to many threads in that one,
whereas both pipes and sockets are very much point to point.

I'll write more in a bit, and will be sure to cc you
when something is relevant.
Hope you have a great new year.

Karl Dahlke
