Yep. Would you like to setup this aspect?

IMO the test server needs the following:
* simple config, so each test can setup the server differently with only
a few lines of config details. (ie port 3131, current dir for source,
host: details etc.)
* start and stop trivially.
* supports: custom headers, range requests, (+ it would be nice to be
extensible to add in our own munging code).
* runs on *BSD, GNU/Linux, BSD/Linux (:}), NT (maybe native, maybe with
cygwin, either or both is fine).

The first two are the only absolute requirements to get started. We can
always convert to something more ideal later.
