I'd need to make a list of what the functionality was and then decide on what functional tests would look like, work out how best to implement them. I'll look at the CGI angle.

I'll almost definitely include either an fcgi or fastcgi man page, maybe one + a symlink from the other. That page will point to where everything can be found and should be accessible on the standard MANPATH. Thanks for the comments!
