And to use James's code for this! Extremely nice stuff in your web
directory which I didn't properly appreciate before diving back into
backend hacking :-). I think you've split it up and documented it
beautifully.

I recall we grumbled about the number of files initially, but after
trying a less-split version me and Dan came around to your view. With
just a frontend+backend pair of files I got yucky circular compilation
dependencies.

What's the status of the code - is the stuff in
http://jamesjb.com/slime/ the latest? Does it work? Let's use it!
