Linux 2.2.3, AIX 4.2 and 4.3, HPUX 10.10, FreeBSD 2.2.8 Stable
>Description:
We have put together a small patch to enable suexec to work anywhere in the 
document root.  It works by specifying a default CGIUser and CGIGroup 
for the document root (these are the only directive changes, I promise).
With FileInfo and EXECCGI enabled for the document root, users can then create
a cgi bin simply by putting the following in an htaccess file...
CGIUser "userid"
CGIGroup "group"
defaultType application/x-httpd-cgi

The execution is still subject to all of suexec's paranoia checks and the only 
things that are changed are in mod_cgi.c and util_script.c.  The patch 
can be found at 
http://www.louisville.edu/~khhaga01/apache.patch
Just in case it is anything of interest.  The changes to util_script.c were
simply the best way I could think to do it at the time.
