[plt-scheme] ANN: Deprecation of Instaservlet and Instaweb

I just updated Instaservlet and Instaweb to work with PLT 4.1.3. I  
have released the packages to PLaneT:

     http://planet.plt-scheme.org/display.ss?package=instaservlet.plt&owner=untyped
     http://planet.plt-scheme.org/display.ss?package=instaweb.plt&owner=schematics

Instaservlet and Instaweb should now be considered deprecated: no  
further updates are planned once the current versions are stable. The  
new "web-server/servlet-env" module (added in PLT 4.1.3) effectively  
replaces both packages:

     http://docs.plt-scheme.org/web-server/servlet-env_ss.html

Users of either package are advised to rewrite their applications  
using web-server/servlet-env. This is a straightforward process:  
further information, including a deprecation notice and migration  
guidelines, is available in the docs:

     http://planet.plt-scheme.org/package-source/untyped/instaservlet.plt/2/1/planet-docs/instaservlet/index.html
     http://planet.plt-scheme.org/package-source/schematics/instaweb.plt/4/0/planet-docs/instaweb/index.html

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to and used Instaservlet and  
Instaweb!
