[IRCServices Coding] feature suggestion: httpd dump

This is probably going to be one of those features that has tons of objections and will take quite a while to make, still,
The httpd isn't really apache standard, so why not use apache, plus, some sort of caching would be quite useful for scripts and things like this,
I would like to suggest a sub module for httpd that will dump all the htmls from httpd to some folder as files once a command is issued.
A command is preferably a signal from shell to be used in crontab or a timer setting.
The directory structure should remain as on the httpd or flat (all to one folder).
An option to possibly exporting the xml dbase would also be nice but can already be accomplished by -export
This would mainly allow scripts like php and cgi to read information about the user (as a weak alternative for mysql) instead of asking the services' httpd to fetch the data up which consumes more time and resources.
Development priority of this module should be obviously lower then a mysql backend :)
