As the original author of this report, getting significant pushback from the then maintainer of the code, I went ahead and implemented what I considered to be a useful set of features to make CGI work on Windows.

I never proposed them as a patch, because they were bundled with a bunch of other things that certainly would have been considered feature requests, and I never figured out the process for submitting patches, which has changed a couple times since the bug was submitted, and I didn't have time to do all of
(1) learn the churning patch mechanisms
(2) separate my code changes into independent chunks
(3) also get my projects completed

The only reason that CGI support on Windows may not be relevant today is that it is so outdated, with no support or encouragement from the maintainers to encourage patches to make it useful, discouraging its use on Windows.  With my private, forked implementation, I have a quite useful Windows testbed for implementing web server code that can run on Linux Apache servers.  If only there were such support built-in!
