I really like the idea, but I question how portable the setenv() function
call is. I've seen some systems with it, but a lot of others use putenv()
instead, which take one argument only. I'll implement a variation of this
that passes the argument directly to the cgi() constructor, to avoid the
problem of how to fudge up the environment variables.
