Hi,

 I know the project, very interesting.

Pyano is the best mixmaster web based GUI that I've tried, there are a couple
of older interface but they're not so good. 

I'm not the author of pyano, and I haven't ever used libmicrohttpd,
but after a quick search it doesn't seems to me that libmicrohttpd
supports python, so I don't think it's possible to use it to run pyano.

A lighter alternative to apache is lighttpd, that supports python as far
as I remember, but it's anyway a webserver and the pyano page does not report
instructions on how to run pyano with it.....
