Would not this mean that in this case it's not a CGI solution any more 
but a "regular" f MC running Stack that listens to some port and 
behaves like web server?
Something  like mchttpd.mc  stack  that Scott Raney put together and 
Andre later enhanced?
If this is the case, what PHP adds to it other than robustness and 
reliability ?

In other words, is PHP absolutely necessary for such a solution or not ?

Thanks Brian, appreciate your help. BTW are planing to attend  
conference in Monterey ?
If yes, that could be a good opportunity for me to "interrogate" you in 
person :)
