For porting Midgard to other web-servers than Apache one needs to:
1) Port PHP itself if it isn't done yet
2) Port mod_midgard
Any web-server with ability to extend HTTP request dispatch process
could be used for that. Unfortunately, serious knowledge of server API
is needed, as well as Midgard's one. I don't know anything about NSAPI
but, for example, porting Midgard to Xitami web-server would be
relatively easy using its LRWP API. In such case mod_midgard will be merged
with PHP module because of nature of LRWP.

I think it requires serious work for current version because Midgard
is tightened to Apache now by design. But for Midgard 2.0 where most
of mod_midgard functionality will be in core (I think) it will be
reasonable project.
