It just seemed that the C code in create_instance.c desperately wanted
to be rewritten in a scripting language, perhaps with something more
easily adapted to being both a web app and a command-line binary.
Yeah, that would be nice. We'll see what we can do. But in the
meantime, the new work we are doing wraps ds_newinst with a much more
user friendly interface, and ds_newinst can already be used as a CGI.
I don't have any more plans or thoughts than that.
