It's not really in *active* development. There is maintenance that 
occurs (there was a recent release, though it doesn't show up properly 
on CPAN because I b0rked the packaging), and we're very very slowly 
trying to get it working under Apache 2.0 (the difficulty there is that 
AxKit uses a lot of config directives, so that all has to be ported to 
the new style way of doing that). Basically my real life got in the 
way, and I no longer do web stuff. But I still use the current AxKit 
for pet projects - it still works.

It's not really possible to run it stand alone - it comes back to all 
the config directives. For that you'd be better off with something like 
CGI::XMLApplication (I think - again it's not something I'm very up on 
any more).
