after some googling and talking with knoledgeable people, I choosed to use
cipe; it's lightweight, simple (yet powerful), has been ported to windoze and
it's easy to understand; plus I heard that you could use it through
masquerading ( http://sites.inka.de/~W1011/devel/cipe.html ).
I use it ... but read about others too, just to make an ideea about the
concept. If you ever decide to go with cipe, I can help you.
