 The default config file for lighttpd has the setting server.network-
 backend set to linux-sendfile. This option is obviously not available on
 MacOS X, so if you try to start lighttpd and miss that option it'll error
 out with an error message like this:
  2011-02-25 14:45:52: (network.c.652) server.network-backend has a unknown
 value: linux-sendfile.

 I'm not sure what an appropriate default would be (I set it to writev),
 but perhaps it doesn't matter since the installation tells you to change
 the config so it suits you anyway. Still, I think it's sort of odd that it
 doesn't even start with the default configuration, and it's not exactly a
 complex fix.
