Yes, although I've just now rev'ed to 3.2 and added a cleaner way to
drop code into the server so you don't have to modify the main script.
In practice, however, I wouldn't be shocked to hear that you modify
the startup code in a truely custom, embedded situtation. For our
Ajuba server we have our own startup sequence that is peculiar to
our application.

It'll also try to start the server listening sockets and fail as well.
This script is a "main program", not a subroutine.

The Httpd_ReadPostData interface was recently added to do this -
in earlier versions the server always read all the post data,
but in some applications the domain handler wants more control.
There are also async variants - skim the lib/httpd.tcl code
and see how it is used in the doc.tcl code as well.
