www is a user, so you could expand those paths to 
/home/www/www
and
/home/www/www/cgi-bin

We differenciate here.
Our /home structure looks like this:

/home
/home/staff
/home/customers <---- this has quotas and resides on a seperate
                      filesystem. In case of the WWW server, it is a
                      nfs mounted filesystem.
/home/customers/<customer>/www <---customers have their Web stuff in here

/home/www	<---- Only available on the WWW server
/home/www/www   <---- Since www is a user it makes sense to let him keep
                      "his" files in a www directory too.
