I'm not sure I understand how this increases security, but if your
goal is to hardwire all your Zope settings into a binary, it's
not difficult to do.  Although maintaining it will be a drag.
If you're going to go down this path, you might as well
write a Python shell script to automate the process, i.e.
have it read in Zope.cgi to create a header file that is
then is compiled to your binary  (Please call it something
other than pcgi-wrapper.)  This should all be probably
placed in a Makefile, with Zope.cgi as your dependency.
