So I found a hacky way of achieving #2.
var $tw = require("tiddlywiki/boot/boot").TiddlyWiki();
$tw.boot.argv = []
$tw.boot.boot();
$tw.loadTiddlersNode();
At the conclusion of that code, you can access $tw.wiki to get a Wiki
object representing the entire state of the wiki, AFAIK. Hopefully, if I
can get this and #4 sorted, I can start trying to get multiserver up for
folders at least, and then expand it to files.
