Thanks for your input.
I'm not interested in running php as CGI at the moment though.
The princip of asking all users to add the #!/usr/local/bin/php is something I predict would give great problems in a production enviroment.

Apparently this path makes php run under suexec though it doen't run as a usual cli cgi-script.: http://www.localhost.nl/patches/
This I might look into latter. For now if I can just get suexec to work it will be the foundation for any latter configuration.
