Of course you can make a scsh server. The actual cgibins would then be small
C programms that just pass their argv and env to the scsh server. The server
would just fork a new scsh to do the job. In the future the scshserver could
even just fork a thread. The possibility to pass file descriptors to scsh
(not yet possible) would make the whole thing trivial.
