These are now available, so I am going to package this. However I wanted
to check whether starlet was really the right name. I picked this to be
similar to starman, but there is a difference: there is no starlet command;
it needs to be run using start_server or similar. Notably, start_server
is actually provided by libserver-starter-perl (not server-starter).

Starlet is a PSGI application, but the pkg-perl policy doesn't make
any reference to this type of package for naming, so it could arguably
be treated as either when it comes to naming.

Any ideas?

Dominic.
