Hi Jonathan,

Because wer (Debian) have another patch, that affects this code, you
maybe want to take a look at it and decide, if you want to include it?

http://vcs.wgdd.de/websvn/wsvn/packages/cvsweb/trunk/debian/patches/02_allow_cgiless_execution.dpatch?op=file&rev=0&sc=0
http://bugs.debian.org/247452

This is probably, what the user wants (if I take a look at the bug
report).

Regards, Daniel
