While nginx is a fine piece of machinery, do you really need such a tight integration and its added complexity?
CGI is looked down at, but its simplicity and portability cannot be beaten.
A combination of, say, Acme Labs' thttpd [1] and Lua scripts could be a winner, at one tenth of nginx footprint.
Here is D. Richard Hipp on the discreet charm of cgi-bin:

As well as a small, simple HTTP server implementation:

As always, your milage might vary.
