And indeed it is. Obviously I need to read some more about servlets and
namespaces. For now I'm content with having a web server that can serve
static files, call functions to handle requests or dispatch to different
(kinds of) servlets. Not sure that having such a beast run in the wild
is such a great idea, though.

This is fun :-)
