Zope doesn't modify Medusa, it inherits from it, then over-rides
everything. I don't think much of the core medusa code gets exercised in
ZServer because everything is over-ridden.

Would be good... Some years ago Andrew Kurchling migrated Medusa's CVS
to http://oedipus.sourceforge.net/medusa/. AFAIK this is as close as you
get to an "authoritative Medusa source tree".

Andrew was quite keen to give others CVS access at the time (myself
included), but apart from the occasional bugfix it hasn't seen much
activity (my fault too).

I don't see why various fixes etc shouldn't go into CVS there. In any
case it's worth a look to see what's already in there.
