Yikes that's a big patch and lots of new code.
2 questions:
1) has it been use in Stronghold already ?
2) is it really necessary for all this extra code ?
I'm pretty sure I'll never need to use this feature.

I need Sameer's patch, or something like it, to fix another problem that
you will probably want fixed: If a user aborts a CGI then the CGI can be
sent a kill signal early. Current code does not allow for this ... and
Sameer's patch either already does it, or makes it easier... I've been
waiting for it :)
It also allows people to do things like, display a part of a page, then
display search results as they arrive. Presently these people are
required to use nph-, which is mostly broken w.r.t. HTTP/1.1.
