fcgi-cgi is a FastCGI application to run normal cgi applications. It doesn't
make CGI applications faster, but it allows you to run them on a different
host and with different user permissions (without the need for suexec).

lighttpd2 won't have a mod_cgi, so you need this FastCGI wrapper to be able
to execute standard cgi applications like mailman and cgit.

fcgi-cgi is released under the `MIT license <http://git.lighttpd.net/fcgi-cgi.git/tree/COPYING>`_

Usage
-----

Examples for spawning a fcgi-cgi instance with daemontools or runit::

  #!/bin/sh
  # run script

  exec spawn-fcgi -n -s /var/run/fastcgi-cgi.sock -u www-default -U www-data -- /usr/bin/fcgi-cgi
