Hi, thank you for this patch!

When we disable the tests, we have to leave a comment explaining why. It
can be as simple as "No test suite" if that is the case.

This has the effect of setting the CC variable and skipping any other
'configure' actions. Is this intended? If there is no './configure'
script or similar tool, this environment variable could be set in
#:make-flags or in a 'setenv' phase.

mkdir-p and copy-file and be replaced with install-file.

You can make an 'em dash' in Texinfo like this:
"...config files---you only..."

The license on the main source file is the ISC license:
https://unix4lyfe.org/gitweb/darkhttpd/blob/HEAD:/darkhttpd.c

Can you send an updated patch?
