For cgi, the dlls can be in the same mapserv.exe directory, so there shouldn't conflicts (maybe...).I remember I used a configuration in which I had mapserv.exe (with all the required dlls) in the Scripts directory, and in the same dir, another dir with another set of exe/dlls (the first one was from MS4Win, used for WMS with AGG output, the last one was from FWtools, used for WCS). For me this seemed to work (but I used this configuration ony a bit on my devel machine...).
Why cgi should be used only for a trial ?
