Well, I guess I should have said "supports."

Most embedded webservers are not for serving content, as is mine. ;-)

Thats fine. I was more thinking about the portability layer rather than a

I'm open to either. I kinda posted to list because I do want to support

I have no problem keeping the porting layer within my own tarball. I just
have to get familiar with eCos -- and maybe find some hardware to test
with.
