Here is a config and server extension proposal

/etc/webiopi/webiopi.conf:
{{{
port = 8000
share_gpio = true

<apps>
    <header>
        <enabled>true</enabled>
        <auth-file>/etc/webiopi/passwd</script>
        <export>*</export>
    </header>

    <expert>
        <enabled>true</enabled>
        <auth-file>/etc/webiopi/passwd</script>
        <export>*</export>
    </expert>

    <custom>
        <context>myapp1</context>
        <docroot>/home/pi/webiopi/myapp1/htdocs</docroot>
        <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
        <script>/home/pi/webiopi/myapp1/script.py</script>
        <auth-file>/home/pi/webiopi/myapp1/passwd</script>
    </custom>

    <custom>
        <context>myapp2</context>
        <docroot>/home/pi/webiopi/myapp2/htdocs</docroot>
        <welcome>myapp2.html</welcome>
        <export>0, 1, 3, 4</export>
        <values>0, 0, 0, 0</values>
    </custom>
</apps>
}}}

/home/pi/webiopi/myapp1/script.py:
{{{
def setup(): # called at server start, optional
    ...

def loop(): # called in webiopi loop, optional
    ...

def destroy(): # called at server stop, optional
    ...

def myMacro(): # automatically registered macro
    ...

def __myFunction__(): # __ denotes private functions
    ...
}}}

then, access with
Header : http://ip:port/(webiopi/)
MyApp1 : http://ip:port/(webiopi/)myapp1/
MyApp2 : http://ip:port/(webiopi/)myapp2/

Macro registering can be automated, using __ pre/suffix or decorators to denote 
privates functions.
Or it can be manual, using declarations in the config file.
I'm not sure about the syntax to sure, XML, JSON, something else...

Need advice

example script.py with decorator to denote macros :

def setup(): # called at server start, optional
    ...

def loop(): # called in webiopi loop, optional
    ...

def destroy(): # called at server stop, optional
    ...

@macro
def myMacro(): # automatically registered macro
    ...

def myFunction(): #  private functions
    ...

key/value pair based config file:

port = 8000
share_gpio = true

apps.header.enabled = true
apps.header.auth-file = /etc/webiopi/passwd
apps.header.export = *

apps.expert.enabled = true
apps.expert.auth-file = /etc/webiopi/passwd
apps.expert.export = *

apps.custom.1.context = myapp1
apps.custom.1.docroot = /home/pi/webiopi/myapp1/htdocs
apps.custom.1.welcome-file = index.html
apps.custom.1.script = /home/pi/webiopi/myapp1/script.py
apps.custom.1.auth-file = /home/pi/webiopi/myapp1/passwd

apps.custom.2.context = myapp2
apps.custom.2.docroot = /home/pi/webiopi/myapp2/htdocs
apps.custom.2.welcome-file = myapp2.html
apps.custom.2.export = 0, 1, 3, 4
apps.custom.2.values = 0, 0, 0, 0

Finally use INI file format, custom app support will be added later

[HTTP]
enabled = true
port = 8000
passwd-file = /etc/webiopi/passwd

[COAP]
enabled = true
port = 5683
multicast = true
