Sönke, vibed is truly amazing! I am interested in the web server's internal 
architecture. I always wanted to do an implementation of a web server using
a form of asymmetric, multi-process event-driven architecture. A web server 
which utilises fibers. It would be nice if you explain the web-server 
architecture of vibed in more details.

Keep up with good work!
