Woo hoo!!!  Andrea, you got the point of webconf exactly.   Or more precisely, 
"haserl" - it does the heavy-lifting of form data/file upload parsing, while 
trying to stay out of the way of the .cgi.

"Webconf" is a framework to demonstrate that, but I don't claim it to be the 
"end all" - it can certainly be improved.  

As an example, long time ago Eric Spakman suggested a generic interface to 
allow pull-down menus, context-sensitive text-boxes that "know" how to parse 
and display a generic .conf file.  It didn't seem possible at the time - but 
after looking at the caudium web-server config engine - I think just that 
thing /is/ possible, and without python. ;-) 

So as you work on the port, please feel free to suggest improvements to to 
either the haserl interpreter or the webconf framework.
