mongrel2 for Debian
-------------------

Mongrel2 is split into two debian packages: First mongrel2-core,
containing the binaries, which is useful if the web server is used
embedded into another software and started from there. And second
mongrel2-run, containing the start scripts and a trivial demo site,
ready to be started as a stand alone server.

As described in http://mongrel2.org/manual/book-finalch5.html, mongrel2
can be started using several methods. None of them seems to be strictly
superior. For the debian package, I chose using runit, which allows for
a simple and easy to understand configuration.

As the provided start script runs mongrel2 as non-root, it can't bind to
ports <1024, and doesn't use chroot.

For a production server, it's probably wise to evaluate the possible
deployment methods and chose an appropriate one, individually.
