Yes, you are right: it needs a few web pages explaining what it is
and why it is useful.

Current choices are:
MyServer 0.8.1
PHP 4.3.11
FB 1.5 client lib
As common with windows installers, the user gets to choose the path,
the default is C:\phpserver-0.8
Everything is intalled under this directory, nothing goes into the
system directory, no registry changes are made. "xcopy" install to
use a MS phrase.

Perhaps we should use PHP 5 instead of PHP 4/

Yes, just unzip it into the C:\phpserver-0.8\web directory and you
are done.
