 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...
