yes, I do think that Nitro is limited to Web stuff.  At least at the
moment.  I'm not sure how hard it would be to write a 'adapter' like the
CGI one, just for another type of 'getting called'.  I don't think
it would be particularily hard, but all the "mechanisms" within Nitro
are of course quite 'web centered'.

Somebody might prove me horribly wrong when I say this. :)

Anyone have an idea of a protocol which would fit into the Nitro 'range'
of working with things?  I'd really be interested to hear one. :D
(Nitro, going general purpose!)
