Thanks!

Remember, however, that this module is not very usable since it only 
support non parsed headers, but this format is depracated by CGI 1.2 and 
no applications (as far as I know) uses it.

When I will find some time I will fix it, probabily with these assumptions:

1) nobody uses non parsed headers, so I will no more support it
2) I will assume that Status is always the first header


I'm also planning to implement a new mod_cgi module.

As always, my target is Nginx 0.5.x.
To make sure that mod_scgi will work with 0.6.x I have to check what has 
been modified in the fastcgi and proxy module (since I have just copied 
the code from these modules).
