Description

Hello. I am using lighttpd for an embedded system. Currently I build and install it normally, then delete all the modules I don't need. It would be cleaner to be able to statically link only the modules I need into lighttpd and then install only the binary. So I am proposing two new configure options:

--disable-shared-modules
--static-modules=mod_access,mod=cgi

This discussion speaks of a workable patch but I can find no followups in the past several months: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.lighttpd/1234

I updated the makefiles and INSTALL instructions in the source tree to document static builds with SCons and with make. Please read the INSTALL file. You can manually edit the list of files included to remove the modules you would like omitted from your build.
