[K42-discussion] os/servers/ and baseServers build...

[Orran Y Krieger]

Yup,  some of the individual servers can be built separately, and run as 
apps, which is useful for debugging.  However, we do tend to compile them 
together in baseservers for performance and to speed up download.   By the 
way, we are involved in IBM in a big sprint for an internal deadline.  If 
you don't get a response quickly, we might be buried and missed it, please 
zap your question again on the list, ... we are definately supportive of 
this, just involved in a big deadline for the next three weeks.

Okay, to answer my own question, many key object servers are combined 
into baseServer, and compiled, currently, in the baseServer 
directory. They're not run as separate servers at all as far as I can 
tell. I can go from here to build submakefiles for os/servers.
