Future Scheduled Behavior Changes:

lighttpd 1.4.68 builds common modules into the lighttpd base executable.
Separate dynamic modules are still built for the benefit of existing
packaging scripts in various distributions, but those modules are not used.
A future version of lighttpd will omit building separate modules for:
mod_access mod_alias mod_evhost mod_expire mod_fastcgi mod_indexfile
mod_redirect mod_rewrite mod_scgi mod_setenv mod_simple_vhost mod_staticfile
