My only point was that FastCGI is useful for apps which have their state in
some form of context object which fastcgi can initialize and re-use in a
request loop, and fossil proper can't do do that. Except for its server
mode, its internal state is built around a "do one thing then exit" model,
which doesn't play well with fastcgi. i.e. my point was that any attempt to
use fastcgi with fossil is, IMO, doomed to failure or (at best) mediocre
results.
