I've never seen this as a problem, and don't entirely understand what 
you mean.   In PHP for example, there's a  variable called PHP_SELF (in 
the HTTP_SERVER_VARS array) that is basically the URI without the post 
or get variables appended.  Is this what you mean?  Would this even work 
with the way qmailadmin uses URIs like /cgi-bin/qmailadmin/com/showusers 
(that looks like directories)?

Since you can have multiple virtual hosts access the cgi via apache's 
ScriptAlias directive and other means, it's never posed a problem for 
me.  And, with templates, you can still have unique html for each 
virtual host.  All the while the cgi path is hard coded.
