FastCGI is an open extension to CGI that provides high performance
for all Internet applications without the penalties of Web server
APIs.

FastCGI is designed to be layered on top of existing Web server
APIs. For instance, the mod_fastcgi Apache module adds FastCGI
support to the Apache server. FastCGI can also be used, with
reduced functionality and reduced performance, on any Web server
that supports CGI.

This FastCGI Developer's Kit is designed to make developing
FastCGI applications easy. The kit currently supports FastCGI
applications written in C/C++, Perl, Tcl, and Java.

This package contains only shared libraries used by programs
developed using FastCGI Developer's Kit and cgi-fcgi (bridge from
CGI to FastCGI).
