The -server supports everything the non '-server' has. At the time of 
writing it I tried to merge it with Mark's release, but I never reached 
him.

I remember a short mail exchange between Russ and Graham Barr and me 
beginning of this year, where Graham said he wanted to merge the two to 
produce a completely new release with a new name. Don't know what happened 
since then.

best regards,

Patrick.
