I am thinking that the most useful thing will turn out to be some
installation details for different web servers. That could be a longish
list since there are quite a few choices. Putting that into the final
package would be pretty cumbersome. And too much work to keep it always
up to date. The base httpd server in OpenBSD can be run in quite a few
different ways. But that's for much later.

You can close the issues on github. I did manage to miss the 1.7
instructions.

Thanks,
