More CGI Stuff

[Yennie at aol.com]

You can easily use a long-running Metacard stack in the background- just 
launch it normally and communicate from your CGI using sockets (or any other 
IAC).

Problem is- you can only handle one connection at a time with the 
long-running stack.
That is why I've been investigating using multiple processes with the Darwin 
engine.
