Sorry, I never got around to submitting a patch.

The code in Dulcinea & Toboso isn't quite up to the high standards of
Quixote itself, so bear in mind that if you see stuff that doesn't make
sense to you, that may be because it simply doesn't make sense ;-)  It's
still useful to see code from experienced Quixote users, though, so I
really appreciate the publishing of Dulcinea and the other open source
code people have made available.

To get Toboso working, I had something like the following in my site.conf
(dredged up from a dusty area of my disk, so subject to bitrot).  No doubt
there are many things wrong with it, not least the fact that I haven't
shown several edits I had to make to a few scripts / modules in Dulcinea
to get Toboso running -- hard to see what the crucial changes were, now.
Still, maybe this piece of the puzzle will help the rest slot into
place...
