Lighttpd

The attached patch adds the scoreboard to the text output generated by mod_status when requested with ?auto.

The added code is pretty much a copy and paste of the code the generates the scoreboard for the HTML generated page (the only difference is that it doesn't output a newline after every 50 items). In otherwords, it would be straight forward to create a common function both versions can use.

This code makes the output from mod_status?auto a little closer to that generated by apache and makes it easier to use some of the apache-focused monitoring tools with lighttpd.

I've used this patch for the last year on some heavily traffic sites (daily average of about 100req/s with peaks up to 1000req/s) with all versions of lighttpd since 1.4.13.

We use it with a custom lighttpd plugin for collectd (http://collectd.org). If this patch gets acccepted into the lighttpd code base, I will be submitting that plugin as well as a second one for server-statistics to the collectd project.

Ultimately, I would like to create modules for lighttpd that gathers the necessary information and sends it to collectd, rather than having collectd request the server-status and server-statistics pages. That's for another day.
