There is no support in 'gb.web' to serve the '.public' directory of the 
project, but the embedded http server has it!

So when you run the project from the IDE, it works, but when you run the 
CGI executable through a web server, it does not!

I don't know what I wanted to do when doing this mess, because if 
'gb.web' serves the '.public' directory, there is no need anymore to do 
that from the embedded http server...
