  What is this?
  -------------

  Butterfly is a modular web application framework.



  How do I use it?
  ----------------
  
  Type
  
    $ ./butterfly
  
  and then pointing your browser to 
  
    http://127.0.0.1:8080/
   
  where you should see a Butterfly welcome page. 



  Where is the stuff that Butterfly is showing me?
  ------------------------------------------------
  
  Butterfly's main concept is webapp modules. By default, modules are 
  located in 
  
   ./modules/
   
  and wired together with information contained in the file named

   ./modules.properties  
   
  those two together should give you hints on how to start looking around for 
  what Butterfly does.



  Is there any other documentation?
