What I do:
main.c:
1) Is very very non-OO, and mostly does environmental checks
(gross error checking) for the upcoming server.
2) Instantiates a "State" object which loads and configures the
server for the task it is about to do (also does some error handling
configs/instantiation, memory pool configs, singleton setups etc)
3) Instantiates a "Server" object which takes the State object
as an argument (the State object is done first to simplify error
handling in constructors).
4) The instantiated Server object gets the server all up and
ready to run.
5) Call Server.Run().
6) Handle exceptions arising from Server.Run() as applicable.
