I don't think it could work without lighttpd-angel.

According to `man rc.subr`, the reload command defaults to sending
SIGHUP.

When lighttpd-angel is told to reload lighttpd with SIGHUP, what it
actually does is send SIGINT to the lighttpd process, wait 5
microseconds (!), and spawn another process.

I don't have a working lighttpd config right now, but it seems like
it would be a good idea to make our init script spawn the angel
process instead.

Then again, looking in other packaging systems, they're also sending
SIGHUP to lighttpd and expecting it to reload. Hm...
