This might be of interest... found on the lighttpd on Windows as a
service using FireDaemon
http://forums.firedaemon.com/viewtopic.php?t=231

I am also interested in Mongrel and Lighttpd. I run Apache on Windows
with a lot of PHP stuff installed, and it appears right now the best way
to run rails apps is to pass rail app requests past Apache to Mongrel or
replace Apache with Lighttpd, then make all my existing PHP stuff work
on Lighttpd. Which I am not enthused about. Am I quoting the best
current Windows options correctly? (aside from getting off Windows of
course...)
