We're talking 3 megs of dependencies (and that's on a 64 bit system, so
probably about 2.5 megs on a 32-bit machine).

I'd be happy to take patches to make the dependencies shrink in size, as
long as there's no regressions...

Please note that the web server we'd replace httpd by needs to support
WebDAV.
