 This is incomplete at this point, but there's a working example. I have
 to break off now and do some building work. You can find documentation
 and a zip file (currently it is Windows only, DMD2.026, and Phobos) at
 http://www.britseyeview.com/dcat/.
 
 It works with Apache2, and uses the AJP13 protocol like Tomcat.


 Interesting. Just as I was thinking of creating a web app in D.
 
 What's the license?


 Hmm, forgot about that stuff, BSD maybe - suggest one please.


 By looking at the code, I've found a license. Not sure which license it 
 is (looks a little BSD-like), but at least the terms are clear. Some 
 (not all) modules start with this:

I had subsequently gone through the sources and added a BSD license, but now I
have gone through them again, and put the zlib/libpng license back. I will post
the modified zip today.

This of course excludes the stuff that was modified from Eric Anderton's DDL
work. I will attempt to contact Eric, and ask if he will allow the modified
versions to be put under zlib/libpng.

Is this a satisfactory approach within the D community?
