Yes, you can use the classes in System.Web.Hosting and HttpRuntime, add
some glue and you have an ASP.NET web server. The whole work is done
transparently for you.

xsp is just a part of the work made to convert from an aspx page to
HTML.

The process, roughly described is as follows:

	* xsp.exe parses the aspx page and generates a C# class.
	* Get a dll compiling the generated class.
	* Create an instance of it and run Page.ProcessRequest on it (it
	is a Page derived class).

By now, our HttpRuntime is not working and we are testing/fixing our
System.Web without using HttpRuntime.

Once our System.Web is usable (or may be before if someone does it :),
we'll finish HttpRuntime support.
