Why does the intricate detail of how my server is architected matter to you? I've explained enough already, and you seem to have missed the obvious point. With that I have said already I'm sure your critique doesn't need my input.

I'm trying to build with winelibs. If you tell me what *your* problem is, I might be able to help you with it. :)

I'm not particulary concerned about efficiency, as it happens..... And I know that leads to perl or someone else's solution. Maybe I could buy your software?

I suppose I could try out FastCGI, but where I'm at, at the moment, it wouldn't be a benefit to me, whereas compiling against wine would.

I have a whole pile of prerequisites, that have already lead me to the choice that I have currently made.  When there is a practical reason not to do it this way I'll stop, and go a different way. I appreciate that I am the worst programmer in the world, but TBH, it's not an unreasonable question.

I'm not here to avoid a problem. I'm here to try and solve one.

It's allright if you don't have the answers, you know.
