So basically it works. I've just been undusting the patch
before it becomes bitrot.
To be useful in automation I'll finish my service at some
point, but the point of this small application is that
it can be run from the commandline without requiring
lots of tricky options.
It must be run as root. Example test that follows geomyidae(8):

user <at> abyayala ~ mkdir /tmp/gopherd ; cp ~/Downloads/geomyidae-0.29/index.gph /tmp/gopherd/
user <at> abyayala /gnu/store/j8q61m2wfqg2akl4y0lqacmyds9i7vc7-geomyidae-0.29/bin$ ./geomyidae -d -b /tmp/gopherd -p 70

# now point lynx (or another browser) to the server, in other words: lynx gopher://localhost
