Mikhail Teterin 40df453521 NeoWebScript[tm] is a module for the Apache webserver that allows you to
embed the  Tcl/Tk programming language  in your webpages as  a scripting
tool.  It was  invented by  Karl Lehenbauer,  NeoSoft's Chief  Technical
Officer, and documented, enhanced  and extended by NeoSoft's programmers
and technical writers.

The changes:

	. don't build the Apache, TclX, gd, db, neo-tcl bundled in the
	  tarball, but use those that are installed by their ports
	. don't generate GIFs -- use PNGs
	. look in /var/log for Apache's log file
	. use /var/db/neowebscript for caches and per-user databases
	. expose some configuration knobs into the neowebscript.conf --
	  there should be no need to edit init.tcl itself anymore

All of the bundled demos work, except for the gd-based banner generator.
The demo code uses Gdtclft commands that don't exist in the modern Gdtclft.

NeoWebScript[tm] is a module for the Apache webserver that allows you to
embed the Tcl/Tk programming language in your webpages as a scripting
tool. It was invented by Karl Lehenbauer, NeoSoft's Chief Technical
Officer, and documented, enhanced and extended by NeoSoft's programmers
and technical writers.
It offers a fast, secure, easy to learn way to do powerful, server-based
interactive programming directly in the HTML code in web pages. With
NeoWebScript[tm], counters, email forms, graffiti walls, guest books and
visitor tracking are all easy, even for a beginning programmer.
NWS uses plenty of its own extensions to TCL and those provided by
eXtended TCL, gd, and others. All other TCL extensions can also be
loaded on the fly.
