Jens, Thank you very much for feeling helpful today ;)
...but in your words I think I will choose not to sweat it. It was just a minor concern. I have been researching my 3 options for lightweight web servers for far too long now, and I think I will just pull the trigger and run Cherokee. I realized after a quick brainstorm to Juan J.'s response, I am going to have to run PHP, and php-mysql needs mysql-libs anyway. But again, thank you for feeling helpful. I may try your 1) suggestion on another test server just "because".
