The downside to doing evhttp is that he'll have to write his own request parsing (I think he's relying on Apache/CGI to do that for him now).

But if you're going to do a C web framework (and... really? you sure about that?), that's probably how you should do it.

Which, these days, isn't a huge deal. Both of these are decent:

Request parsing is no big deal, I've already written a json parser/generator for this project (though it's in a separate project atm).
