With HTTP support in both Groovy and Java, it's silly to assume the user has curl installed.

It's currently simple enough to make it a simple translation, and that way we can remove the dependency on the large groovy-all jar.

Right now the documentation is extremely sparse.

Need examples of usage, especially of configuration files.

Add an "include" directive that allows for merging in other configuration files. For example, to have a common config, config for parts of the site, config with sensitive information (e.g., passwords), etc. that can be composed together.

Still need to think about exactly how the merging would happen (e.g., precedence rules), at what levels "include" would make sense, support for relative vs absolute paths, if we need to worry about cycles, etc.

Right now the run shell script will use Gradle to create an "install distribution", but it involves multiple files, always running Gradle, etc.

Create a self-contained executable jar to make it easier to run and distribute.
