Sorry about the hostname, it's an old registered dynamic dns service that
a friend had setup a while back, and I'm resurrecting it.

Notes

This is intended for the people on this list, mainly library developers
who are working on non windows platforms, but anyone can feel free to
check it out. If it starts to get abused I'll set up a uid/pw scheme fo
just people who really need it.

The machine is not that fast. However, it's not hosted on a dial up line,
should be up 24/7, and seems to compile 2 KLOC files in a few seconds.

The machine is a standalone server. All it has on it is a web server and
the .NET Framework. It'd be pointless to hack or break, so let's both do 
something better w/ our time.

I tested it on Netscape and IE. I made it require an outgoing content type
of 'text/plain'. On netscape you may need to goto Edit -> Preferences ->
Applications -> New Type (.cs) -> Mime Type: text/plain and check the box
for 'use this as outgoing type' or something.

The two checkboxes are just shortcuts for typical library compiler flags,
telling it not to warn of duplicate System namespace and not to complain
if the program is w/o an entry point.

Right now it lists the uploaded file as 'temp.cs' in the output (this is
not the case, it's a random file name but temp.cs looks better than
131318y4198end32418.adsm34). If someone w/ more regex skills can tell me
in C# how to take a string of the form:

	"C:\Some\Where\Source.cs" or "/home/someone/Source.cs"

and get "Source.cs" from it, I'd appreciate it and have the output done
properly off uploaded names.

Let me know if there are any issues.
