Actually I'd like to drop Apache and go with LightTPD:
http://lighttpd.net when I get around do it (I'm primarily afraid for
my coWiki / PHP5 setup)

You confuse the light/dark side of the *force* with voodoo.  ;)

windows 3.1 - dark side, not much voodoo, unless you want it.[1]
windows 2003 - dark side, some dark voodoo.
pclinuxos - light side, not much voodoo, unless you want it.

The problem with that, is that I'd be one of the people at the core
for implementation.. which I don't really want to be if it gets too
complex.  I'm quite interested in the topic, and I did a lot of solo
research to figure stuff out.. but apache being what it is, it appears
that my efforts were somewhat futile.

Again I argue that there isn't much of a problem to be solved,
although i'll admit that this does make me itchy.
