hs-plugins can build and load source, and check dependencies, and lots more.

Also, check out hws-wp that's a modified version of Simon Marlow's web server
that includes an apache-style plugin framework. In my opinion, you can steal a
lot of the ideas there or just hack hws-wp to use hs-plugins.

You'll probably want to use Don's recent strategy of dynloading everything on a
tiny static core, otherwise you'll run across incomparable values where the
static and dynamic type tables don't mesh.

David Himmelstrup has been profiling Halipeto recently. I think a combination
of Halipeto and either WASH-CGI or HaXML would work nicely.

Add HaskellDB for sane database access, and you've nearly surpassed J2EE for
features.

I heard rumors that the HaskellDB guys are massaging HaskellDB to work with
hs-plugins too.

For other useful web application server features, Björn Bringert's XmlRpc
library is nice.
