[Novalug] apache cgi calling c function

[James Ewing Cottrell 3rd]

AFAIK, the CGI doesn't care what language a script is written in. It 
simply exec's the file, hands it some environment variables, possibly 
some arguments and standard input, and interprets the standard output as 
HTML, optionally adding some headers.

Make the C function into an executable program that obeys the CGI API.
