you could make local mods to your httpd so that paths starting with
/cgi are given similar treatment as those that start with /magic; it
would execute "cgi" and pass it the arguments as usual.  then url is:

http://myserver/cgi/foo?var1=1&var2=2

and in script "foo" the $QUERY_STRING will be "var1=1&var2=2"

>>> 	http://myserver/magic/cgi/foo?var1=val1?var2=val2
