Yes, but you need one hack to make that work. I have found a way to
solve this properly, but the best way is to do that in TApplication, I
have to discuss this with Michael and Mattias first.

I thought that Powtils also adds some other usefull functions. Fcl-web
is pretty basic, I'm not sure if it's (atm) enough for what you want.

Yes, that is the idea. But in my mind it was not supposed to work in
production, but only stand-alone (one user) with your application
compiled-in. Just for debugging.

But with some more effort, it could me made in such a way that it can be
deployed with support for multiple users.
