If you can get it installed on a non-World world, then it should work
fine.  Just be sure that processIO gets sent to it periodically (which
will happen if you have a NebraskaServerMorph open on your server).


I've noticed, though, that code to install and uninstall the server will
sometimes go through the current World.  So, getting it installed at all
might take some doing.  It would be wonderful of you to work out what
it takes and to share this around.  It shouldn't be tooooo hard, and
others might be interested!
