I want to change Hunchentoot so that the threading model for request
execution is a configuration parameter, not a function of what the
Lisp implementation provides.  For my primary application, I currently
need a single threaded model where one thread both listens for
requests and executes them.  In the future, I may need to support a
thread pool.

I would also like to factor the SSL specific functionality into a
separate server class.

Removing the mod_lisp code would make overall refactoring easier, as
the mod_lisp decisions are spread all over the code.  Also, it is
harder to test changes if one has to test both with mod_lisp and http.
 Presently I am primarily looking for ways to simplify the code in
order to make it easier to change and extend.

Are there any features that you are really looking for?
