fa4af3d043 Improvements of "gf -server" mode and related setup
"gf -server" mode now contains everything needed to run the minibar and
the grammar editor (including example-based grammar writing).

The Setup.hs script installs the required files where gf -server can find them.
These files have been moved to a new directory: src/www.

The separate server program pgf-http is now obsolete.

b318509528 More functionality in "gf -server" mode
"gf -server" mode now includes PGF service and the services to support
example-based grammar writing. (But gf -server is not quite ready to replace
pgf-http yet...) 

Also bumped GF version number to 3.2.10-darcs

3488632558 Added a preliminary "gf -server" mode.
The command "gf -server" now starts a simple HTTP server on port 41295,
providing a simple web API to the GF compiler. It currently support the
follwing operations:

  * creating new temporary directories for grammar uploads,
  * uploading grammars files for use in the GF shell,
  * executing GF shell commands, and
  * accessing static files.

This means that GF now depends on some additional networking related packages,
but they should be available and easy to install on all platforms. There is
also a new configuration flag "server" in gf.cabal, so GF will be compiled
without support for server mode if the extra packages are unavailable.

Note that running gf -server while connected to the internet can be a security
risk. To prevent unauthorized access to the rest of the system, it is
advisable to run the server in GF_RESTRICTED mode and as a user with suitably
restricted file permissions.
