There are already plenty of lightweight embedded web servers.  What do
you see as the advantage of putting it inside dnsmasq?  Is the web
content going to include dnsmasq-internal information such as the dhcp
lease table, dns cache, cache statistics, etc?

The reason DHCP/PXE is part of dnsmasq instead of a separate program
is that it's very useful to add DNS records for each new lease.
