Environment once more

Hi,

At the risk of being flamed for asking the obvious, I'd like to go down 
the path of FastCGI application environment once more.

I have spent the better part of yesterday searching and reading about 
environment variables and the ways they can and cannot be used with 
Apache and mod_fastcgi.

I am using FastCGI with PHP and suExec. PHP is started through a wrapper 
script, that has to make some decisions (which php.ini to use, among 
others) based on the virtual host it is running for, before exec'ing PHP.

Is there _any_ way to pass this kind of information from Apache to the 
wrapper script? I know SetEnv, PassEnv and the like won't cut it, and 
with -initial-env, I can only pass data from Apache's environment, which 
is useless to me.

Would it be hard, or would there be any drawbacks, or unacceptabel 
security implications to have the FastCGI process manager set up an 
environment based on Apache's mod_env before it forks? I am not a C 
programmer, so there's no way I can implement this myself.

I have seen similar questions in the list archives many times, and IMHO 
it's understandable that people want to be able to do this. Have I 
missed anything?

Thanks,
Martijn.
