Maybe it is just a question of interpretation. I'd expect a hello world
example to not only be minimal but also indicate typical usage. And, as
I understand, typical QP usage means running with Directory traversal
and with a Durus db. But, maybe that is changing... ;-?

Well, hello actually has no SiteDirectory anymore, so no docstring,
however, since the slash file now has a .py extension, the old
slash.qpy was not overwritten when I copied over the demos, and when
checking back when writing the above, I must have looked at the qpy
one...

As for echo, it seems to me that the fact that it is returning the
request is not the main point of the example... the fact that it runs
w/o a db should be more important? Plus, looking at the code, the
inclusion of the '' (index) component in get_exports(), along with
_q_traverse() that returns the same seems at face value
contradictory... a comment to clarify this would likely be appreciated
by newcomers.

I forgot to mention in my previous mail, I was pleasantly surprised to
find the "5 minute" simple wiki example, in proto, after not seeing any
previous mention of it anywhere... it is a nice clear example, for how
to go about building durus-based applications.
