As long as WEBSERVER isn't root, you should be able to use a combination of
sudo/su and chroot. There are some ways to escape a chroot, but I *think*
they all depend on being root inside the chroot, or exploiting other service
running outside the chroot. (E.g. if connections from localhost
are "trusted".)
