There is work being done on a FastCGI/CGI library too ( http://cgi.sf.net ).
I'm able to pick up its development again in a couple of weeks but for now
FastCGI support is included only for linux/apache.

If you're looking for production code *right now* then you might want to
look at libfastcgi ( http://cryp.to/libfastcgi/ ) or cgicc (
http://www.gnu.org/software/cgicc/ ).
