Any dash fans out there?

[Tim Post <tim.post@netkinetics.net>]

Hello list, 

I'm trying to build some more functionality into dash, and take out some
stuff that isn't needed to have it act pretty much just as a very
lightweight script interpreter. 

I'd also like to play around with fcgi and dash, so it doesn't have to
fork each time and can more or less be used as a service to process
scripts, or help a basic cluster interconnect work a bit closer to real
time.

I've done some, but my C is absolutely nowhere near the caliber it needs
to be to do everything I want to do. I've done stuff already like taking
out checking for mail, messages, etc, and other things you really don't
need in a super light version.

I'd like to do a little more with it because its so useful in so many
places where memory use and dentry are a major concern, such as small
memory systems or very small Xen domain-0 hosts. 

Does anyone with a slightly better than basic grasp of C have some free
time they'd like to throw at it? Its a worthwhile effort and would be
fun. It seems like many Debian inclined OSS tinker-ers have put their
efforts in something related to Xen (a much more worthwhile effort than
this silly little hack I may add). 

Anyway, I thought I'd toss out the idea. It would help many things go
just a little bit faster for many people. 

Best,
-Tim
