I just came across this:

How to set-up REBOL CGI at free.prohosting.com
By Michal Kracik

Note that BSDI (unlike Linux) allows executing files which cannot be read. This
way you can hide rebol itself from reading, if someone tries
http://hammer.prohosting.com/~rebol/cgi-bin/rebol, he gets an error message 403
Forbidden. If the permissions were 755, the binary file would be sent to user's
browser (probably as a mess of characters, because the web server does not know
its proper MIME type).

Nice feature when you want it!
Olivier Auverlot's Magic! also completely hides the rebol source.
I imageine a number of other REBOL server-side tools do too.
It would be could to gather this up and send it to Ed for the Rebol mega-FAQ.

Any suggestions?
