Trunk is pretty stable, but you'd have to do a manual copy of some sort
to install, setup.py may no longer work.

Still pollreactor.

Probably not, but best to just try it and run. cBanana may have been
disabled for security reasons, I forget.

Ask on the twisted-web list, but it's still nevow.

We certainly haven't added any major incompatible changes intentionally,
but that doesn't guarantee the software will work. Best to try and see.
