I'd also prefer a minimal configuration. The benchmark is bozo has no conf
file at all. Alternatives that have conf file, should have it at least
very small.

Wondering choosing 1 of the 2 ways:

- Use .htpasswd (basic auth) with some other webserver (apatch/lighttpd/?)
  that allows recursive .htpasswd or other means to avoid password
  dialogue popping up on subdirectories.

- Continue with lighttpd but drop .htpasswd auth. Use some lightweight
  framework (py-flask/others?). [Unfortunately that will bloat my htmls
  that are otherwise very simple.]
