I don't really like the idea of fixing the header problem by writing a
parser that can detect when the headers are over so it can package them
up the way a WSGI compliant server would like them to be.

Chunked transfer encoding is a good idea, but it should be implemented
purely in server.py.  I may do that when I'm done with fixing the odd
signal an exception handling problem now in hg serve.  It shouldn't be
that hard.

Though the implementation required by WSGI would require some incredibly
tiny chunks when combined with the whole recursive generator thing.

Have fun (if at all possible),
