The screen pager is not dependent on any other parts. So it would make an ideal
module on it's own, or it could be a part of console io device object.
The html server is very much cleaned up. It is a nice example of how to write a
html server and can stand on it's own as an example module I think.

It's still pretty raw in some places, but maybe that's ok.
I'll post and introduction and the link in python-dev, I also think I uncovered
a bug in the browser module, so maybe they can look at that too.
It will be interesting to see what will be discussed here, I have some farther
out "fit-throwing" ideas as well. ;-)
Cheers,
Ron
