eeww, no on all accounts. But it didn't stop me building a GNU/Linux from the 
ground up (tarballs only) and learning UNIX in the process:) What you're

Yes, that is a better approach, but the learning curve is quite steep...
I'll go through the sources and take it from there. I glanced at http.cc and
