"Showing" that configuration is better perhaps were get with examples. For 
instance, we could put the code of the configuration files that user should 
have for achieve:

- a simple static web server (without php, ....) in port 80 in localhost. 
- a web server with php and fastcgi in localhost
- redirection of www.hello.com to hello.com/www
- etc

in each category, we listed the aspect of the configuration files and the 
process that a user should do for it works for every webserver. It looks 
like:

   Apache | Lightttpd | Cherokee
Configuration:
- a simple....     [Code&steps] | [code&steps] | [code&steps]


Showing that source code is better I think it's more difficult (it's more 
subjective), but not impossible. What are the aspects of Cherokee source code 
that are the best comparing to other webserver you think?. List these and 
reasoning why.
