As I might have mumbled about before, I think it's wasted effort to 
bother removing dependency on Twisted. You can still do a CGI interface 
without getting rid of the Twisted dependency altogether, and if people 
can install Nevow in their CGI environments, they can also install Twisted.

DP and I talked about this on IRC. Basically, we need::

* Move regadapt into Twisted (twisted.python)
* Modify the Quotient release process such that it includes CVS HEAD of
   Nevow for every Quotient release.
* Put Nevow into its own CVS module

As soon as these can happen, Nevow can have a standalone release.
