[Sputnik-list] Running sputnik on Windows

[Yuri Takhteyev]

Yes, definitely.  Just use cgilua_sputnik.lua for that.  I.e., copy
cgilua_sputnik.lua to web/sputnik.lua and then access it as
/sputnik.lua.  Just make sure to edit your sputnik/config.lua, setting
BASE_URL to "/sputnik.lua" instead of "/sputnik.cgi"
