     # This is for creating a web root and listening on a port manually;
     # You could also probably load a tap but I don't know how.
     from twisted.web import server, static
     root = server.Site(static.File("c:\\web"))

     app.listenTCP(8080, site)

mktap does the bit of code where you create the Site and File instances 
and call listenTCP. A good goal for making twisted better on windows 
(low on most priority lists since most of the twisted developers don't 
use windows) would be some sort of way to say "install this TAP as a 
service" which basically runs all that boilerplate; I have no idea 
about any of the details of how this would work though.

Hope this helps.
