There's a couple of reasons why I did what I did...
The configure stuff was so that I didn't stuff other
unix users (I want Mindcraft to take my diffs).
And as far as syncing up with the other threads, I thought
the standard was that if the mian thread exited, then the
whole app exits, so you have to at least join...

Yes, just one on localhost.
edit the: 'conf/testbed' file to your taste. and then copy one of
the 'conf/filelist.{whatever}' to 'conf/filelist' and make sure
those files are fetchable, then just run webstone.
