Hello,

So, I'm not familiar...At all...With mod_fcgid. But, updating the port to 1.07
was a breeze. It builds and installs just fine, but since I'm not familiar
with this application I don't really know how to test it. Here's the diff...If
I can get one of you to test it out (FX? You requested it...) I'll send-pr
this and take maintainership of the port for the time being.

Attached is the diff required to update the port. FX, let me know if this
works all right for you.

Thanks,
Josh

If your sysadmin's not being fascist, you're paying him too much.
