[Zope] FCGI like functionality inside Zope.

Hi, Looking at the docs it lookes like Zope can be made to play nice with FCGI scripts if it is running behind Apache. However, I have am using Zope without Apache and using extension methods and products to build my application. Now I need to incorporate some 3rd party apps, which have a long startup (setf vm-auto-get-new-mail 600) time. So I am looking for a way of doing something like fcgi from inside Zope itself. Any suggestions? Thanks Daniel
