    There's a couple of reasons why I did what I did...
    The configure stuff was so that I didn't stuff other
    unix users (I want Mindcraft to take my diffs).
    And as far as syncing up with the other threads, I thought
    the standard was that if the mian thread exited, then the
    whole app exits, so you have to at least join...

    Yes, just one on localhost.

    edit the: 'conf/testbed' file to your taste. and then copy one of
    the 'conf/filelist.{whatever}' to 'conf/filelist' and make sure
    those files are fetchable, then just run webstone.
