I would be very interested in a summary of what is spewn.

Seems I remember that someone mentioned they had grabbed these
sources before MS got their hands on them, but were unwilling
to give them up. (I think that post was made to the Apache Modules list)

This project coupled with access logging to a database are at the
top of my list.

I quickly took down the FP services shortly after bringing them up
on one of our servers. It was just too scary...
