mod_ecs - Embedded ClearSilver CGI Apache Module

mod_ecs is a heavily modified version of mod_ecgi from:
http://www.webthing.com/software/mod_ecgi.html

This version is designed to run with the ClearSilver CGIKit, specifically 
with the cgi_wrap calls from that kit.  Those calls wrap the standard CGI 
access methods, namely environment variables and stdin/stdout, allowing 
those calls to be replaced easily.  mod_ecs provides replacement calls which
interface directly with the Apache internals.

Additionally, mod_ecs is designed to dlopen() the shared library CGI once, 
and keep it in memory, making the CGI almost identical in performance to a 
regular Apache module.  The fact that your CGI will be called multiple times
is the biggest difference you can expect from a standard ClearSilver based CGI.
This means your code must be clean!

ECS - Embedded ClearSilver

Platform: UNIX only.  Anyone who wants to is welcome to port it elsewhere.

=======================================================
To COMPILE Apache with embedded CGI support, use
	-ldl in EXTRA_LIBS
	possibly -rdynamic in EXTRA_LFLAGS
 I took this out of the config because its not there on freebsd4 
 = ConfigStart
	LIBS="$LIBS -ldl"
 = ConfigEnd
(or as required by your platform)

OK, here's for APACI:
 * MODULE-DEFINITION-START
 * Name: ecs_module
 * MODULE-DEFINITION-END

=======================================================

=======================================================
BUGS
Lots - here are some obvious ones
	- won't work with NPH
	- No mechanism is provided for running from an SSI
	- Can't take part in content-negotiation
	- No graceful cleanup if a CGI program crashes (though it's OK
	  if the CGI fails but returns).
	- Suspected memory leak inherited from Apache (which ignores it
	  because it happens just before exit there).
