It is relatively easy. I've done it myself many moons ago.

I've followed Steve off and on over the years. He seems to prefer C++ as a web-app language so much so that he blogs about it and other things. I like his stuff. I discovered Steve through Joel On Software some years ago. If memory serves me, I think at one time he was publishing a Web CMS type engine written in C++ but I could have him confused with someone else (been awhile)

Here is his site: http://stevehanov.ca/blog/index.php?id=95
