Ok like I said, we can configure Apache so it is only usable in
selected directories, not site-wide, there's no reason to chroot
anything, it would be a lot of hassle for nothing.

I think you're overestimating the load this will cause, all I can say
is you should maybe download it and try it out to see how it
works. It's in an early stage, and I'm not saying it's fit for a heavy
load, but with the handful of hits /project/clhp gets daily, it's
really not going to be noticable.
