Actually, my background launcher is completely independent of httpd source
code...it's HP3000 specific C source code that does a CREATEPROCESS
of httpd.
 
I did add a "-c" to httpd, for logging transfers to the system console
(via PRINTOP), but that's pretty minor ... but, it should be
integrated into the "real" httpd, particularly since Unix has the
concept of "print to console" as well.  (We might have to have an MPE
specific section that does PRINTOP instead of the actual Unix console,
since Unix console output is done by opening /dev/console .. or, wait,
wouldn't it be neat if MPE/ix 5.0 POSIX implemented /dev/console as
implicit PRINTOPs?  Steve? Craig?)
