On a minimal installation that only hosts a single website, it suffices
to have a single subdirectory named "default.website".

Within the *.website directory, the file to be served is selected by
the HTTP request URI.  Files that are marked as executable are run
as CGI.  Non-executable files are delivered as-is.




If the request URI specifies the name of a directory within *.website,
then althttpd appends "/index.html" and "/index.cgi", in that order,

and that have content of the form "SCGI hostname port" relay an SCGI
request to hostname:port. All other non-execcutable files are delivered
