wrapping the script is possible but a little nontrivial
(your wrapper script would have to implement the fastcgi
IPC protocol and state machine). I would do this by making
the `wrapper' actually fetch pages from the original
script over HTTP, and return them to the client; then
restrict access to the real app so that it will only
serve pages to the wrapper, and point external clients at
the wrapper script.
