[Grub-dev] server component as apache module

[jer]

The server side stuff should remain very simplistic, even as we start  
to tackle more challenging aspects and scaling.

One of the important pieces of infrastructure I hope to get up very  
soon as a large hBase deployment, where the arc files will get split  
and inserted into, with a simple web and REST interface for anyone to  
access it and look at activity and cached copies.  I'm hoping to  
write up a sort of vision doc on this like, days ago :)
