I don't think there is such a thing (for the CGI interface,
not Apache-specific). However, we do have $0, which is "almost
guaranteed" to contain the full path of the script (so we would
be able to deduce the site root directory); this, however, is
not really guaranteed :-/

Or we can try getting the current directory; I believe it at
least is under the correct site root directory.

(My CGI scripts always look at $0. So far it seems that Apache,
Roxen/Caudium, and IIS all set $0 more or less the way I expect
it to, but I don't know how portable this really is.)
