I'm going to try to make one soon... The server I've been coding is 
pretty much feature-complete and I need a new project :-). BSD licence 
and plentiful comments mean that it should be easy to extend.

(actually, my Supa Sekrut Projekt(tm) is to make a VERY different 
touch-based gopher browser for mobile phones, but as that is a 
complicated problem to solve I think I'm just going to do a standard 
curses-based one first)
