that is a point that nothing can be done about unless pike (and roxen)
popularity increase enough that volunteers willing to package pike and
roxen come up, or until someone gets paid to do so.
in general this argument is not interresting, because it is the same
argument that most windows advovates use against other operating
systems. if we give in to this argument then we have already lost.

no, you would run it behind apache, side by side with tomcat and zope.
roxen and caudium are not supported to run behind another webserver.
yes technically it can be done, but there are no instructions to do so
and no support for it in the (otherwise excellent) admin interface, and
generally noone does this so it is not well tested and issues are simply
unknown.
