The previous version of Limbo was written by derenrich. Its code can be seen here: link.

Planned Features:
- Showing possibly similar items already stocked when adding an item to avoid indistinct items.

Modify path_to_limbo in server.py with the absolute path to the limbo4
directory. For example, this might be /var/www/limbo4/.
Add the following line to httpd.conf:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/path/to/limbo4/cgi-bin/"
For remote backups, edit backupdb.sh with host info.
It is strongly recommended to setup cron jobs to run the scripts backupdb.sh,
statistics.py, and expiration.py.
