That should be trivial, I should have time to work on that this weekend.

Yes.  If you did this in the SushiNet example, you would have one
shopping cart, but be able to modify it from either window.

You can start up a RingServer manually also:

http://segment7.net/projects/ruby/drb/rinda/ringserver.rb

(part of http://segment7.net/projects/ruby/drb/rinda/ringserver.html)

This should probably be included in the examples along with
borges-cgi.rb, and an appropriate message should be dumped to the
console on win32.

Right now I'm working on writing unit tests for the HtmlRenderer and its
component classes.  Following that, I'll finish porting the rest of the
HtmlRenderer's library.  I should be finished with that mid-week.

Integration with Borges, Apache, or other CGI should not change, since I
had to write those pieces by hand.  It would be a good place to start,
especially the CGI portion.
