We are doing all home-grown cgi front ends, based on Howies fpweb as the 
basic mechanism.

We looked at fpgi and reface etc, also some other things over the years 
like AniTa and some other gui-term I forgot it's name by now

Everything is crap in one way or another, (including what we are doing).
At least the cgi way you can eventually replace the back end with 
something else because the UI is purely a UI, and a standard universal 
free one, not tied to any particular software on client or server, and 
works on any client OS too.

If I had to use an overlay dress-up app, I'd probably try to use AniTa 
or AniTa WEB. Except...good grief $4200 for 50 seats, and who knows what 
kind of annoyance goes along with that in terms of managing serial 
numbers or activation codes and crap. Pay, for the privilege of being 
annoyed forever... crap crap crap, back to the first suggestion just 
write cgis.
