I had some difficulty getting the mongrel2 + uwsgi + web2py to work because
uwsgi was not setting all of the environment variables that web2py was
expecting.
With uWSGI 1.1 some improvements will be made, but e.g. web2py logging is
depending on REMOTE_ADDRESS and this is not set by uWSGI and web2py fails
silently.
The attached diff should make things work with older versions of uWSGI as
well ( I tested 1.0.2.1, 1.0.4 and 1.1-dev-1996)
