I hope you have got your answer ,  any way my 2 cents
ssi pales in comparision to
dtml. dtml makes template programming a breeze.  You will have to learn the
syntax and ssi statements have their equivalents in dtml and more. But zope is
best for dynamic stuff.   For static pages  I would stick with the http server.
For your problem I see coding some dtml to replace the ssi and refer to the
external cgi just as usual for creating the image dynamically.
