+*) Added SERVER_ROOT CGI var
+*) Should escape # character in directory indexing
+*) Add MaxRequestsPerChild support, so that errors in state can be swept under

-
-Port configurable per VirtualHost
-   kadow@msg.net (Kevin Kadow)	
-Server Parse CGI output
-   not feasible because SSI parser using buffered I/O, CGI uses getline()
-   (server buffered I/O)
-   But, we did it anyways.  See CGI_SSI_HACK in config.h
-Allow extra CGI environment variables to be specified via configuration
-   Kevin Kadow (kadow@msg.net) and Brian Millett (bpm@techapp.com)
-   Shouldn't be too hard, probably in 1.5.1b4
-   Ok, maybe in 1.5.2
-AuthUserScript - Heiner Schorn (Heiner.Schorn@informatik.umu.se)
-   Pass a user name to a script, it returns the password to check against
-   the one the client sent to the server.  This is safe from someone 
-   writing a script to gather passwords, because the given password is
-   never sent to the script.  This is unsafe on the server system because
-   it will return the password of a user.  That could be made safer by
-   making the mechanism employ crypt on the password before hand..
-   Shouldn't be too hard, but needs some design work.  Perhaps 1.5.1b4
-   Ok, maybe 1.5.2
-Have separate UID/GID per CGI script - Marc Evans (marc@destek.net)
-   With Patch (NF-1.5b7-marc_cgi_uid_hack)
-   Basically, changes calls from setuid to seteuid, so it changes the 
-   effective user id of the server.  This makes any security hole
-   potentially dangerous, such as the one in 1.3, since the program
-   that you can force to run can set the euid back to root.
-   Look at it for 1.5.1b4, probably always have to be a #define for the
-   more security conscious users of NCSA HTTPd
-   Push off to 1.5.2
-SHTTP
-   Alpha is done, but we need to test it more
-SSL
-   Again, alpha code is in place, but it needs to be tested more
-RADIUS
-   Ok, I was expecting something slightly different.  Doesn't quite fit
-   the current way of doing things, but shouldn't be too hard to figure
-   out either.  Probably 1.5.2
