No. I patched wn to make paths like cgi-bin/debian/script work and in the
process naturally broke PATH_INFO for paths that do not include a ?
separator. I did not realize that the man2html
problem was connected to the issue with PATH_INFO.
I need that cgi-bin script that does redirection to implement
cgi-bin/debian with wn. A symlink evidently wont do it and patching the
server breaks other things.

Did you test this? From the manual it seems that the code here would
execute Foo.cgi and then try to read Foo.cgi as html code and replace the
first occurence of <!--#include in Foo.cgi with the output of Foo.cgi ??
Could you direct me to where in the manual this is described?.
