Andre, I very much appreciate your dedicated effort on this, and for 
many uses on my own servers I can see where I can put this to use.

Unfortunately, because it requires the installation of libraries not 
normally installed on Linux/Apache systems, as good as it may be for 
myself it seems problematic to try to sell it as a product for others to 
use on their systems.

I hope one day we can get a version of the engine that can run as a CGI 
on standard installations with nothing more than the engine itself, or 
at most a standalone.  In its current form, I see a lot of tech support 
calls if I tried to deploy such a product with the current engine.
