Ultimately, it's a workaround for FastCGI's new (2.2) broken behavior
of stuffing Authorization into the environment instead of as a
header.

But, it should have been spotted when FCGIServer was written, I
think the FastCGI 2.2 "workaround" for Authorization appearing as
an environment variable went back to to the initial import.  But
that point could be left out I suppose :-)
