Indeed... although one of the major goals of IOWA was to remove the need
for all the infrastructure WO uses (especially WO Builder - IOWA is much
happier than WO is with just emacs or Dreamweaver).

mod_iowa is a dead simple, just-get-it-working solution; it takes a very
similar approach to fcgi (open a socket, send over the request, get back
the response) without any of the niceties.  I haven't had any problems
with it, but using something more standard makes a lot of
sense.  Can you post your fcgi lib somewhere?
