ANNOUNCE: WAI 0.3.1, Warp 0.3.1, wai-app-static 0.0.0 and warp-static 0.0.0

Hi everyone, Firstly, after some feedback, I'm releasing some point updates for WAI and Warp. They fix some documentation issues, add some status aliases, make it possible to handle exceptions more easily, and make things more responsive on Windows. Next, I'm releasing two new packages: wai-app-static is a static file serving application for WAI. It handles all of your basic needs in this department: * Proper 301 requests to fix trailing-slash issues for folder vs directory. * Directory listing support (if turned on), including a default listing function that uses Haskell colors and a Haskell logo in the corner. Thanks to Happstack for the basis of this code. * Directory index support (eg, index.html, index.htm), again configurable. * Mime type lookups. Thanks to Snap for this table. warp-static is simply a standalone executable that runs wai-app-static on the Warp webserver. The executable name is warp. I know I personally have needed such a light-weight web server at work a few times, so if nothing else, putting it on Hackage is a convenience for me :-). I hope people find these useful. Don't expect the performance to beat nginx, but it is still quite good. if there are any other features requests on any of these packages, let me know. Michael
