Hi all,

Don't have time to really write it up, but maybe we could just rot 13
the name and stick a 2.0 label on it :>

  http://git.bogomips.org/cgit/zbatery.git

If you grab the latest unicorn.git, you can get Rubinius support
for the HTTP parser.

  http://git.bogomips.org/cgit/unicorn.git

Also, in the latest rainbows.git it can work with Rubinius Actors

  http://git.bogomips.org/cgit/rainbows.git

It has exactly the same config file format as Rainbows! (which is a
superset of Unicorn's config file).  The before_fork/after_fork hooks
run anyways (in the same process) because some people may rely on them.

Command-line wise, it's like "rainbows" (which is modeled after
"unicorn" (which was modeled after "rackup")).

Basically it's Rainbows! (and in turn, Unicorn) underneath, so it
supports multiple concurrency models but it doesn't fork off any worker
processes at all.

I expect it to work (or easy to get working) on Win32; but I won't be
able to test that myself.  It's good on low-powered *nix boxes without a
lot of RAM and where I intend to use it.

For Unix-only, it actually supports most of the same signals Rainbows!
does.  HUP is just USR2+QUIT (same as Unicorn without a config file),
and TTIN/TTOU are ignored; but it won't barf if it's trying to setup a
signal handler and raise an exception.

Still need to clean that code up a bit...
