Subject: Two different CGI classes in stdlib?

Hi all!

I'm helping to RDoc stdlib for the ruby-doc project.  I
notice that there are two CGI libraries, cgi-lib.rb and
cgi.rb, both of which define a class called "CGI".  What is
the status of the two libraries?

rdoc gets confused by this when you try to generate RDoc
documentation for the stdlib; it lumps both versions of the
CGI class together as one class, so you end up with lots of
constants and methods being documented (differently) twice.

Is cgi-lib.rb only included for backwards compatibility?
Can we exclude it from RDoc?

Thanks,

William
