Ah! So I'm not the only one to think that this could be a killer
application and a huge driver for the diffusion of OCaml.
Unfortunately the Ocsigen team doesn't consider a FastCGI connector a
priority of any kind, and of course, Gerd doesn't have interest and
time in porting Eliom on Ocamlnet. It's a royal pity!

I don't know wsgi, but FastCGI is completely agnostic with regarding
to the concurrency model. A FastCGI server is an application listening
on a socket (Unix or Internet), and that's all.

My dream is *really* Eliom over Ocamlnet.
