Lighttpd

compilations fails on (Debian) GNU/Hurd. There is 2 problems :

- PATH_MAX is not defined (PATH_MAX "seems to not be POSIX", that's why it's not present on Hurd)

- UIO_MAXIOV nor IOV_MAX are not defined, but writev is defined (workaround is to define a value for UIO_MAXIOV)

and :

- GNU/hurd defines sendfile() with the same signature as on Linux, maybe it can be used too.

here is a patch which make lighttpd work on GNU/Hurd:
