Re: [gopher] OverbiteWX

Not to "toot my own horn" but I think its time we considered just building and maintaining standalone clients that are both easy to deploy/install and maintain.

I've done so already and use them daily:

gopherproxy => https://github.com/prologic/gopherproxy

gopherclient => https://github.com/prologic/gopherclient (Needs a rewrite to use a better UI tooling such as what powers Atom)

Damn it, this is coming back down. There was a critical error in the build.
More later.
