   On Ragnaland

   Hi, all
   
   We did some Ragnaland hacking with Ferenc on Friday, and now it seems
   to run quite happily under Mjolnir and midgard2-runtime.
   
   The approach we took was running Ragnaland under Midgard MVC, by
   having a new component that bootstraps the necessary Midgard 8.09 -ish
   environment for Ragnaland to run.
   
   This means the Ragnaroek MidCOM environment under Mjolnir should work
   exactly like it does under 8.09, except for a few things:
   
   * There is no sitegroup or multilang support (we disable these quite
   nicely on MidCOM DBA level, too)
   * There is no host (though if components really need it I can provide one)
   * Authentication is handled by Midgard MVC instead of MidCOM (meaning
   it uses the new Mjolnir auth API)
   
   At first we're targeting developer installations (filesync to a real
   Ragna server when you're done), but eventually I image production
   servers could run with Midgard2 as well, reducing the usage of legacy
   code and helping us all migrate to the new world.
   
   As soon as midgard2-installer is there I hope to create a Midgard
   application bundle that provides Ragna. This should make development a
   lot easier!
