command basimark can convert between markdown and html representations. does nothing if it detects that the input is the right format already.

it can also watch a file and continuously serve it over the web. in web mode while basimark polls the file, the web client uses blocking connections to keep the traffic to minimum. it's implemented by two handlers: /preview (meant for the user) and /content (meant as an implementation detail). the /content has a timestamp on the first line which when passed as a ts parameter to /content, the handler will then block until the next update in the file. rest of the /content handler is the generated html.

muttcfg prints the configuration for mutt based on a private file. mutt invokes this via backticks and this picks the right config based on the name of the parent process.
