[Cuis] Choosing an HTTP framework

Hi Folks,

I'm starting this thread to have a clear discussion about this.

We need to pick an http framework. It would be best to be compatible 
with the most used and best maintained one, and not fork it. I haven't 
been following them, so I can't say much. So far, candidates would be 
Zinc and WebClient/WebServer. Anyone suggest other options? Germán, 
Casey, please answer to this threads with comments on the status of your 
efforts, links to code, what you expect to be able to do and how we can 
do it together.

Cheers,
