Gemini and CGI hosting

[solderpunk]

I'd love for Molly Brown and hence gemini.circumlunar.space to support
this, but until Go gets properly setuid support I just can't do it
securely, unfortunately.  Or until the FastGCI / SCGI idea gets polished
a bit more.  I know 80h has done some work on that front and I've been
meaning to ask for details.

Cheers,
Solderpunk
