By the way, I think a nice extension of basic gopher protocol is
implemented in GN gopher server - I have just installed it on local
machine yesterday, played with it for a while and have been very
satisfied - a compact ( about 50Kb binary) and fast server with all the
features of UMN gopherd (except gopher+) and a "gophery" way of adding
extended features - by adding some extra item types (transparently for
the client) - like 7g for embedded grep-like search, 1m for "structured
files" presented as directories (as mailbox files), 0h if a HTML version
of a file is provided (something like +VIEWS), 7w, 7wc, 7wh etc. 
for different types of wais
searches etc.
