So I'll remove the http only note from the installer ...

Hi Luis!
I really don't want to discourage you, but wouldn't it be a better idea to
put that effort into a more general scripting support?!?
It's been on the WishList for quite a while ...
When I look at the things you mention, it reminds me that's exactly what
could be done with a scripting support as well and of course much more.
Instead of creating your own compiler and force user to learn a completely
"new language" it might be a far better idea to do just that.
