1. checkout a clean exp-tagged copy from CVS
2. make; make install; install
3. cd /home/web; mzscheme
4. (define shutdown (serve (load-configuration "www/configuration-table")))

/home/web/www contains configuration-table, conf/, htdocs/, servlets/.

If I cd /home/web/www instead (and use "../www/configuration-table")
it seems to work.  However, if I change host-root to "www" and start
from /home/web, I get this error: 

  open-output-file: cannot open output file: "/home/web/www/www/log" (No such file or directory; errno=2)
