This looks like a great idea. I have been happy with using Medusa, but
eliminating from my app a big third-party package, most of which I
still do not understand, is a very attractive proposition.

The benefit is not just to Quixote window-shoppers. A Medusa-like
out-of-the-box server included with Quixote is just what is needed for
intranet applications and for various specialized, self-contained
applications where the user or administrator may not necessarily be
eager or able to set up and manage a general-purpose HTTP server like
Apache. An example would be process or lab instrument monitoring.

I am in the last desparate weeks of a classic Death March project
which is being saved from oblivion by Quixote and its Medusa server.
If Quentel's async http server is made "Quixote-ready," I will be
happy to bolt it under the hood of my app and test it.

Thanks for spotting this, Graham.
