Ah, I did not see that page, it seemed quite painless to me though,
seems like a well designed library.

The Wt crash when missing the config file happened just after the stat
call, it started to create the parser for the file, but never
initialized the memory for it, and ended up crashing when it tried to
read an std::string.  I fixed that rather quickly (and recompiled Wt
to point to some place other then a C: drive as a default location, I
do not have a C: drive, my boot drive is G: and my windows install is
on F:, don't ask, this computer is an evolution of 15 years of
upgrades...).  It might have been due to more of the drive missing
rather then the file, I am not sure how stat handles that (I am not
sure why stat is being used, why not just open the file without
creation and see if you get a valid handle back, it is supposed to be
more optimized to do it that way as well).

I did notice some places where Spirit.Classic is used.  If you
upgraded it to Spirit2.1 (or 2.2 in trunk) you would be a rather
significant speed boost in execution speed for that code (Spirit2.x
outperform Spirit.Classic by *far*, and it is a lot easier to use as
well).  If you wish I could bcp out the Spirit2 code so it is
self-contained (I could actually do that to all the used boost
libraries if you wish, then you would not need boost as a requirement,
although everyone should have it anyway in my opinion) in case they do
not have 1.41.  I could easily make the conversion if you are curious,
I know Spirit *very* well.
