>Description:
lighttpd is an alternative webserver for like for instance apache. However, the
pkg doesn't create a user (i.e. 'www') to run under. I think this is good
behaviour to enforce, just as apache does. Moreover pkg's like phpmyadmin
blindly trust on the existance of a www user (hardcoded in the Makefile).
