Ah - the difference between requires and required. As in its already  
in the server, and I took your message to mean further user  
interaction was needed. So yeah, looks like we need something similar  
for nginx. However I think the lighty solution doesn't need any  
special config. (I could be wrong here as I've not attempted non-root  
lighty+fcgi ever)
