The release on sourceforge is not compatible with the current
implementation in Gentoo AFAIK.

webapp-config is in a horrible shape and also has several design
flaws. i wouldn't touch it. that's why i already added an idea to the
GSoC list for a complete w-c rewrite. i talked to gunnar in 2008 or
2009 at chemnitz linux days, and we agreed that w-c needs a rewrite.
but none of us had/has time to do it. hopefully gsoc can change this
situation.

Greetings,
Bene
