I think it would at least require an external rewriting program just to handle
the mapping of the accepted and available language to a selected language. And
I can't see how you can avoid infinite loops using the Apache rewritemap
directive.
Secondly I would like to run a smaller, more secure web-server instead of
Apache.

I think the critical part you missed is the infinite loops, but there may be a
way around them.
