Hi everyone,

Some of you may remember the CGI library that was being worked on for last
year's GSoC.

It still needs *loads* of work before it could be considered ready for
review, but I think it's moved on far enough since I last updated this list
that some more feedback would be very useful.

Pre-built docs are online: http://cgi.sf.net/doc

Current source is at:

*http://tinyurl.com/2bsbsf* (browser-friendly)
*http://tinyurl.com/2xcye2* (check-out)

** This is alpha-grade source: functional and ugly **

The examples there have been tested on ubuntu with gcc 4.1.2 and gcc 4.2 and
on windows with MSVC 9. The FastCGI examples will only work on linux for
now. I've not managed to get it working with lighttpd as-is but it seems to
work fine on Apache 2.2 with mod_fastcgi or mod_fcgid (and shows some
healthy benchmarking results).

Any and all comments/suggestions/criticisms are welcome.

Kind regards,
Darren
