Nice to have the guides.

I think it might still be a big hurdle for casual contributors and I'm 
hoping to get it down to something short like

  cpan Combust::Spontaneously
  svn co $site site
  spontaneously-combust --port 8000 --domain learn site/config

>Yeah - there are two big parts.  The Combust::Request object and  
>(worse) the configuration bits which currently are very Apache-ished.

I'm not sure that the configuration bits are super necessary to 
replicate if the handle_request() is being written to run on e.g. 
HTTP::Server::Simple::Er.

Haven't been able to play with it of late, but I think I was seeing that 
what you would mostly need would be just the requested URI, plus some 
paths to reach the templates.  Other biggies?
