At the moment, the HTTP server is run just after the ".project" file has 
been loaded, analyzed, and the required components loaded. When it forks 
to actually run the project, the _init() functions of all exported 
classes from components written in Gambas are called, the main hooks are 
run, and then the Main() function of the startup class is run.

As for translation files, they are always loaded the later as possible 
(when the first translated string of the component or the project is 
needed).

gb.httpd is intended to serve only what is inside the project. I think 
it could be modified so that it serves static files located inside the 
project without running the CGI script.
