We need to clarify these instructions. thttpd is just a
suggestion, not a requirement.  thttpd is a very simple webserver, it
doesn't support dynamic languages well, if at all. It's a suggestion
because it is so simple.

If you want to host a hidden service website, you need a webserver of
some kind. thttpd, lighttpd, and apache are all possibilities.  People
have hosted hidden service websites on IIS. Use whatever you are most
comfortable with using.
