Ocsigen can run with most other webservers via a reverse proxy. The
Ocsigen process itself doesn't even need to have special privileges, and
can be installed and run by a regular user. If you are allowed to use
WSGI, FastCGI, AJP, etc., it shouldn't be more difficult to use Ocsigen.
Process management might not be as handy, so you'll have to manage
somehow the ocsigen process crashing / being killed, but there are other
tools (e.g. monit) for that.
I'm not saying that WSGI, FastCGI, AJP, etc. support for Eliom has no
benefit! But we can live (and we do) without it for now.
