Beside cgi environment I can't see a real difference
between 'notes' and 'subprocess_env', thus I can't make up
an opinion about what is preferable. I can understand
that 'notes' is free from the burden of supporting
various things related to cgi, but that's all. Do
you think your code is already at the stage to be tested?
