why critic requires apache?

why critic requires apache? since critic is written in python lang, by default it can be served with some server written in python, or may be needed some options into install scripts to use nginx/cherokee/lighty/apache. please be server agnostic, and don't stick to apache as the only requirement in installation scripts.

Since it's based on WSGI, it ought be quite easy to adapt it to work in any WSGI compatible web server. There might be some dependencies on features in mod_wsgi that aren't available in all WSGI web servers, but if so that shouldn't be too hard to fix. Most of the work would be in extending the installation script to handle other servers, I should think.

Patches to add support for your favorite web server are naturally welcome. :-)

Random note: apparently nginx overtook apache marketshare in top1000 segment recently: http://w3techs.com/blog/entry/nginx_just_became_the_most_used_web_server_among_the_top_1000_websites
