This is probably something for the init scripts to deal with (if
required).

Any startup-time config should be handled by the init scripts
(/etc/init.d & /etc/rc?.d/), but a lot of the site content should
probably be generated "on the fly"...this shouldn't be too CPU intensive
if a proper directory structure for weblet add-on packages is created.
There is a project in progress to do this already...see the Richard's
e-mail and weblet demo site.
