Interesting idea. This would definitely add more tools to Tcl
programmer.
But I was not targeting this. I was targeting people that might needing
a web-service in their programs. So w/o much fuss, load the extension
and
start using (web-server) immediately. Splitting the server in parts and
then glueing all together would be considerable more effort then
wrapping
the server as-is in a Tcl extension. But, generally speaking, on the
mid/long
run we could consider taking the server piece-by-piece apart and
making it
more modular then it is now, this is true.
