At the end of the day, it turned out be be a few more than 4 files; 
there were some "imports" halfway through the source file that I missed 
when I made the four-files assertion. Ah well.

My goal was to strip out files that were non-essential to the HTTP 
server. There's still a lot of unused code in the remaining modules that 
ought to be cleaned out (whether for Quixote's purposes or others).

The pared-down Medusa is available at
