When using CGI or FASTCGI, with a hosting system where an executable
script needs to be supplied, it is beneficial to be able to say
something like:

  #!/usr/bin/env python -m cgi2wsgi

  #!/usr/bin/env python -m fcgi2wsgi

where the rest of the script is the just the WSGI application.

I have implemented this for CGI as an example at:

  https://github.com/GrahamDumpleton/cgi2wsgi

I have done it for FASTCGI using flup as well before but that isn't
available anywhere.
