Hi Folks,

   Arachne is GPL.   There could be complications with paying for a
programmer, regarding the GPL licence. Payment may be linked to
ownership.

   And I understand that JS and internal-SSL would require porting to 
32-bit code, not a trivial task, which wouldn't come cheap.
There is already a work-around or three for SSL, and maybe there might
be a way to develop at least a partial work-around for javascript, too.

   So, let's not choose the most expensive option first.  :)

Regards,
        Ron
