I finally got it working *cries in lost sanity*...

Turns out I (or nginx or whatever) was not passing the PATH_INFO fastcgi parameter.
Obscure chases through the internet led me to the final nginx.conf
configuration which finally made it work...
Please don't ask me on how this works, it's dangerous forbidden dark arts
of nginx magic. This was my first ever use of nginx, all my other thingies
are on obsd httpd.

Now to see how to work a chroot with nginx and fcgiwrap. #nginx irc users told me that this
is stupid and that this is an OS thing and not an application thing -.- , so that was fun.
