To which efforts I encourage you and wish you Godspeed.  But, to be
clear, I have no intention of following that path for the canonical
Fossil executable.

Fossil shall continuing in the classical 1970s unix motif of doing one
thing quickly and then calling exit().

Vikrant, if you want a library, then by all means help Stephan.  His
is a noble effort and worthy of your support.  I'm happy to assist
your labors by providing server space or domain names or other
infrastructure assistance.  But your objective is emphatically not
where the canonical Fossil program is going.

Thank you for your suggestions.
