if you've got a way to tack this on to bugzilla i'm all for it.
otherwise, i don't want to touch bugzilla's core code at all.

i had issues with spawn-fcgi with PHP fastcgi engines... and i don't
need these scripts to "persist" i just need something to execute cgi
scripts from nginx... there will be requests to tons of separate .cgi
files so that layer would have be its own layer then sending the
request to the .cgi files themselves (which i believe what the wiki
simplecgi example does)
