(I cannot find his name) No cycles myself at this instant, but it seems overtime to break apart the mod_fcgid process-control so that it can then stack on top of a single mod_proxy_fcgi communications pipe, dispatched through different fcgi-stream methods (including child process stdio), including the various authn/authz roles. It would take more time to refactor it in this way, but would get rid of any discrepancies between proxy_fcgi and fcgid and serve as a good excuse to draw the remaining mod_fcgid development back into trunk/, now that fcgid is generally sufficient for 2.2 users.
