I've committed rev 93 to http_integration, which uses this technique
to transport all headers from server to cgi script. I added
cgisupport.http_headers, which wraps this relative weirdness and
exposes the headers as a bona-fide dictionary.

Seems to be working...

Thanks! Currently cgisupport is only used from the cgi-bin dir, so I
placed it there. I think that's good enough,

Let me know if there are problems on non-Windows platforms.
