Neither of these has been tested very well (I never did bother to track down
self.exit_now from the cgi publisher, for instance).  I would move the
LRWPSessionPublisher class to a different file, and change the static
options passed to LRWP to config file variables or options passed to the
class contructor.

BTW, thanks for providing the motivation to dig up a win32 diff utility.
I've thought about it a few times, but never done it.  I found one here:
