Okay. Mythweb should have pulled in webapp-config by itself; you shouldn't
have had to mess with it. You don't normally need to know much about
webapp-config, but it can help you understand why everything is arranged
the way it is. Sorry I can't really help you much with getting nginx going,
but good luck with your endeavor. I love Gentoo because it has great tools
in place to help me get exactly what I want (I love epatch_user), but there
is definitely some work involved to get there. It's very rewarding once you
get it all working though. :-)
