I'm all +1 for this, except that I'm not sure if this is correct
design-wise solution. Because we actually bring bits from cluster httpd
interface to the backdoor one. And since chttpd uses couch_httpd internally,
this makes circular dependency between them.
What I think would be correct is to move common httpd bits into own
package. We already have couch-httpd repository as empty and it name sounds to
be good place for such kind of things. And then we can have
```
couch-httpd
^ ^
| |
chttpd couch_httpd
```
model instead of
```
chttpd <--> couch_httpd
```
In mid/long term couch-httpd app can help to isolate mochiweb from rest
CouchDB and simplify migration to some else web framework: webmachine, cowboy,
whatever it'll be.
What do you think about this?
