Tricky Apache Directive Question: UserDir and cgi-bin

[tu...@uvs.is]

Hello, 
I have a tricky Apache directive question I'm hoping y'all can help me 
with. Here is a snippet from my httpd.conf file 

UserDir www 

<Directory /home/*/www> 
    DirectoryIndex index.html 
    Options All 
    AllowOverride None 
    Order allow,deny 
    Allow from all 
</Directory> 

NameVirtualHost xx.xxx.x.xx 

<VirtualHost foo.uvs.is> 
ServerName foo.uvs.is 
DocumentRoot /usr/www/site.virtual/foo/html 
DirectoryIndex index.html 
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /usr/www/site.virtual/foo/cgi-bin 
ErrorLog     /usr/www/site.virtual/foo/logs/error_log 
TransferLog  /usr/www/site.virtual/foo/logs/access_log 
</VirtualHost> 

As you can see in the virtual host I place my web cgi scripts in a sibling 
directory to DocumentRoot. Notice also that I have a UserDir directive. 
What I am having difficulty with is coming up with the correct Apache 
directive to allow an entire website including cgi-bin and DocumentRoot to 
be placed in a UserDir directory. This would greatly simplify web 
production as it would allow any one of our team members to checkout a 
verstion of the website into their home directory. How do I indicate in 
the block directive <Directory /home/*/www> ... </Directory> that I want a 
cgi-bin directory there as well, similar to the virtual host directive? 
I'm stumped. 

Cheers,

I think you are asking exactly the question addressed here:
