That's one of the reasons that script is positively ugly.

Have a look at http://github.com/gnosek/fcgiwrap/tree/master
(the home page is in the making)

That's a C application that does roughly the same thing as the script.
You need headers and libraries for libfcgi and a process spawner, like
spawn-fcgi from lighttpd. Works fine for me.

If you need any assistance, feel free to mail me.
