It would be interesting to reuse the existing Swazoo interface, so that 
you can run Swazoo indifferently over HTTP or FastCGI.  Then you'd get 
multipart support for free, I think.  My repository's swazoo-pool branch 
refactors Swazoo so that you can accept connections, retrieve requests 
and print responses on something other than a plain socket, so this may 
be an idea for Swazoo 2.3/3.0...  If you want I have the same changes in 
Monticello format too.

Does FCGI support streaming (i.e. Comet)?  Kom does, so maybe it's a 
good sign that WAFCGI subclasses WAKom.
