Update on the IIS installer

I officially have permission from my boss to release this as open-source (I know, I ought to have asked first). I also have a first draft Delphi ISAPI application that effectively proxies each request to a single WEBrick instance running on the same machine.

Next stage is to tidy up the reverse proxy (any embedded links contain http://server:3000/controller/action) and then add a simple load-balancer (round robin to begin with) so it can pass requests off to different WEBrick instances in turn.

Then I'll probably rewrite the entire thing as a .NET HTTPModule - precisely because I want all you lucky lucky people to join in, test the bugger and get it working everywhere, all the time - and because Delphi is dying. I'll also need to rewrite the all-singing, all-dancing WEBrick installer in order to get it to install multiple processes/services - and, if I get the chance, I may even write a Mongrel equivalent.

Ideally, I would like to get at least the Delphi version ready by the middle of May as I have a deadline of then. So hold tight ... it's on its way.
