I shall start debate.  The current version of taylor is 1.06.1 and I have a
copy, I think.  But one GOOD reason to obtain Taylor
is the y protocol, which is 50% faster and more efficient than g.

I have attempted to integrate both Taylor and BSDI with no luck
yet.  The key being policy.h and I am HAVING a hard time.

If I could, I would make it available to BSDi just like Apache 1.0.3,
but I am having problems.
