[Xitami] Xitami/5 - new project announcement

[rolinger]

This sounds fantastic, and am glad the Xitami torch will carry on.  Its been 
rock steady for years, has few limitations and still does the job better 
than Apache (apples to apples).  Heck, I even got a custom version of URL 
rewrites to work (converting dyanmic urls to static urls), something that is 
built into Apache but had to be bastardized to work with Xitami.

Anyway, I would like to contribute in anyway I can.  However, I don't 
believe I am the kind of sophisticated programmer that you need assisting in 
developing the various aspects of this new webserver.  I primarily do CGI, 
PHP and MySQL scripting.  But you need assistance with Admin forms and 
technical help pages or such, then let me know.

Keep me in mind if you can remember to do so.  :-)

> As we get code that works, and if there is interest, we'll put up a
