IMHO it would be better to make it easy to integrate, but seperate from
Spiffy. There are people who do not want to or who cannot use Spiffy.
They would not benefit from such a framework.

For instance, in many companies, it is mandatory to use something like
Apache. It would be useful if this framework would work with the SCGI egg,
so it can be integrated with Apache through the mod-scgi module for Apache.

I would love to have something like that too.

Agreed! I have been looking for something like that. IMHO it should consist
of building blocks, which can be glued together. This makes customisation
easier, because no size fits all.
