That new scheme is, indeed, much superior to the old apache based
system; but still in active testing and development.  Right now, you can
tweak any aspect of the webservice by configuring the lighttpd directly
with ~/.lighttpd.conf -- and the documentation for that can be found at
the lighttpd website:

http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki/WikiStart#Reference-Documentation

but admitedly that presumes you have some familiarity with many of the
underlying concept; that is why there is a "cookbook" section on that
webpage for common tasks that will be filled up as time allows.

(time is unlikely to allow much documentation in the short term as we
prepare the move to eqiad).
