  The specification of CGI is RFC-3875 [1] and there are a number of Gemini
servers that have implemented it to some degree [2].  I found the
specification for FastCGI [3] and it seems a bit more involved (with it
being a protocol and all) but I think it could be used for Gemini, much like
CGI can be used for Gemini.

[2]	GLV-1.12556 can handle both Gemini specific CGI scripts and HTTP
	specific CGI scripts (by converting the return code from HTTP to
	Gemini).
