This is a backup commit, it may be less functional than the last revision!

Contents:

• Some work towards SCGI support. This was partly abandoned to work on FastCGI support (which is merely a copy of the scgi directory + modifications).

• FastCGI support has begun to be added. On linux, with apache (mod_fastcgi or mod_fcgid) it can accept multiple connections and read/parse packets. PARAM packets can be parsed correctly, as can STDIN and BEGIN_REQUEST packets. They lack proper handling because I'm not sure if introducing a circular dependency is absolutely necessary - ie. the basic_client<> reads/parses packets but in order to do so must have access to the basic_request<> associated with it (to store variables in). The basic_request<> *has* a basic_client<> so that dependency exists too. There are several ways around it, not sure which is best.

• FastCGI outputting hasn't been addressed yet, will do that after important uni work is done.

• The beginnings of multipart form data handling was added, but only using Boost.Regex. The idea is that 'eventually' this should be a seperate form_parser class that takes a function object for reading more data and a map to store saved data into, so the class is generally useful outside this library. This separation has the advantage of allowing a Boost.Spirit, Boost.Regex and Boost.Xpressive implementation. I'm starting with regex because it won't get done otherwise. It's not finished yet, surprise surprise.
