FastCGI and CGI Library -> Build FastCGI and Apache

Thanks to all who replied. I'm glad to see that there are
people using fcgi :)

With regard to CGI library, Wybo used cgicc. I also played with it.
I think the problem is that i can not use fcgi_stdio.
Someone got it working with lower level fcgi interface though.
Right now I'm using cgi-util, a C (not C++) package.

Here comes my question 2:
I have an application that uses a problematic library which has
problems with .so (on Apache2, Linux) It can not be linked to .so
projects. Its initialization always fails. It seems that I'm getting
the same problem when running it from fcgi app. The app runs ok from
command line. But if it's started by mod_fastcgi, it'll fail to
initialize. So, I'm thinking of building mod_fastcgi into Apache
source, just to avoid calling my app from a shared object mod_fastcgi.
However, I'm not sure if anyone has managed to do that, as mod_fastcgi
is typically used as a .so file. I'm not quite familiar with building
apache2 modules into apache, nor with mod_fastcgi. I searched the net
in the past few days and didn't find much useful info. So if anyone
has experience with this, I'd be happy to know. Instructions would
be even better.
