I forgot to mention that, some servers do not accept scipt file as 
fastcgi application (in certain platform), nor allow adding program 
arguments in their fastcgi configuration (MyServer as an example). 
That's what cause me to think about the necessity to require HTTP 
servers to set certain environment variables when creating fastcgi process.
