I missed a fork(), so it will depend on BR2_USE_MMU.

Of course, so maybe a warning about this should be added in some section
of the manual... I'll remove it.

I used this to avoid a long line. It is only a cosmetic choice. I'll use
a single statement.

I used two distinct variables named $DARKHTTPD_ROOT and $DARKHTTP_FLAGS
because the command line parsing of darkhttpd is not very tolerant: the
root directory must be the first argument and all remaining ones should
be options.

$DARKHTTPD_ARGS is too general and does not highlight this.

Will do!

Thanks for the review.
