I haven't seen my messages from yesterday show up, so I'll try
again. The CL-CGI library I initially sent the request for was mostly
a small package which would ease writing CGI programs. Basically it
set some variables according to the environment passed from the
server, and has a url decoder to decode HTTP post and get data.

Since submitting my initial request I have taken this small idea
further into what I am calling CLHP, the Common Lisp Hypertext
Preprocessor. Basically what this is is the ease of PHP with the joys
of Lisp. You can create dynamic content using lisp embedded in XML
processing instructions. 

Right now I have a working version which works with Apache, through a
lisp CGI gateway. But I plan on writing a Apache module. 

The CLHP name is really a working name right now, since XML is not
really just a Hypertext thing, this could also be used independently
of a HTTP server. 

I hope that's a good enough description, I'd really appreciate it if
you would agree to host this and be willing to enable the server to
run it.
