I had this same thought earlier myself... why miniserv instead of 
apache. It soon became evident. There is very little need to ever be 
tweaking the settings in miniserv, whereas it is pretty easy to bork an 
apache config and it won't restart. Of course this leaves you staring at 
a page that will not reload nor any method to get into Webmin and back 
to the apache config to fix it.

Just a thought....
