Before you start, I've already done it (against pound 2.0.5), although I
need to do some more testing.  Using Lighttpd as a backend, I'm able to
serve up static pages no problem, but for some reason CGI's aren't
working (it tries to download the CGI rather than display its output).
This may be a bug in Lighttpd but I'll need to test some more to track
it down, and before that, I'll need some sleep :P
