Provide a more usable default-configuration for Lighty/lighttpd

[mr_bond@…]

The default configuration file is not well suited for OS X or Macports. We should provide a sane default, so users easily can start using the package.

The config-file in Macports, looks like it's been taken directly out of SLES/SuSELinux.

server.document-root, should be something inside macports, like /opt/local/www/htdocs, or /opt/local/www/data.

the user/gid, should be the user created by macports, "_www", not "wwwrun".

The config should be usable almost out of the box. Novice users will spend many hours debugging theese things, and then turn to the irc-channel or such for help. Maybee they will end up not using lighttpd at all, or use it on a system with "easier to use" packages.

It is very nice that the port has a launchdaemon launcer.
