This is one of my big goals in getting things better modularized.  I'd
love to be able to divvy out Koha into a set of services which could be
distributed over some number of servers (for the very large, high-end
library) or run entirely locally on a single server for the low-end
library.  I think that we should be able to scale easily to both ends.

If you're willing to wait, I think this would be the best course.  If
you've gotta work on it right now, be aware of the upcoming
modularization.  In either case, please do jump in on the modularization
project once 2.0 is out ... i think we're going to want all the coders we
can get.
