I just got mod_fcgid to build under MinGW, of course tried phpinfo() as the "hello world" of FastCGI as far as I'm concerned, did so using the binary build from php.net, noticed the "Compiler MSVC9 (Visual C++ 2008) " row in the pretty table, and recalled this thread. FastCGI is a way to get us out of all sorts of dark alleys; let's be sure to keep it in mind as one of the tools to address binary compatibility issues, PHP-centered or not.
