Heel is a mongrel based web server to quickly and easily serve up the  
contents of a directory as webpages. Beyond just serving up webpages  
heel uses an ERB template and famfamfam icons to create useful index

And to make things even easier it launches your browser for you so no  
cut and paste necessary.

For example:

```
$ heel
** Signals ready. TERM => stop. USR2 => restart. INT => stop (no 

```

restart).
