Huh, I must be doing something wrong then... I set my serverDirectory
to my httpd document root and did a PWS initializeAll which complained
that the given server directory is not valid (which I'm sure it is)!

As soon as I copy the Server directory into that directory it works,
but that's not what I want to do since the contents of that directory
seems to be oriented towards Swikis, and it just does not make sense.

Another approach would be to use Squeak behind the FastCGI
interface. This would allow Apache to do all the hard work and squeak
to do the "smarts".
