I just came across this:
How to set-up REBOL CGI at free.prohosting.com

Note that BSDI (unlike Linux) allows executing files which cannot be read. This
way you can hide rebol itself from reading, if someone tries
http://hammer.prohosting.com/~rebol/cgi-bin/rebol, he gets an error message 403
Forbidden. If the permissions were 755, the binary file would be sent to user's
browser (probably as a mess of characters, because the web server does not know
its proper MIME type).

Nice feature when you want it!
Olivier Auverlot's Magic! also completely hides the rebol source.
I imageine a number of other REBOL server-side tools do too.
It would be could to gather this up and send it to Ed for the Rebol mega-FAQ.
Any suggestions?
