That has confused me even more!  :-)

OK, my "CGI server" is presumably apache but I can't really see how
that helps me.  I could set things up so that apache will find a CGI
file in a different place but that's not really what I want.

What I want to do is to be able to specify a different config.py file
somehow.  Ideally I'd like to be able simply to use a different URL so
that my exisitng:-

    http://home.isbd.net/cgi-bin/pyblosxom.cgi/

takes me to my existing pyblosxom installation and one like:-

    http://home.isbd.net/cgi-bin/pyanother.cgi

uses a different config.py and thus I can have an entirely independent
set of pyblosxom files.

Is this possible?
