Actually it's not such a bad idea and Yaws does indeed support
php pages. I use it when I want to run some PHP package on
my Yaws site. Obviously Yaws only supports PHP over the CGI
interface making it considerably slower for Yaws to ship php
pages than for apache.

On the other hand, we may take confort in the fact that yaws
ships .yaws pages a lot faster than apache ships .php pages
