I agreed with your own embedded comments about the mainless-civserver kluge
being a hack.  So, I rearranged things a bit.  Now, much like civclient,
the main() routine does little but call srv_main(), which is contained in a
new file called server/srvmain.c (also, there's a new server/srvmain.h).
Most of the source in server is compiled into a library, libcivserver.a,
which both civserver and the utilities can use.

The attached patch is your patch, plus my few changes.  After applying the
patch, you will need to do "automake;autoheader;autconf".

I believe there's still more to be done on this patch.  I'd like to see as
much of srv_main() as possible moved back into main().  Also, the
util/README could use more info on how to use the utilities (I just copied
in the --help texts).  Hopefully, though, this is a good start.
