spawn-fcgi in the foreground!

Been looking for a clean way to spawn fastcgi listeners in the foreground and I
believe Trey has figured it out. This patch should take care of it by keeping
spawn-fcgi from losing track of the copied listening processes and allow full
supervison. To use, call your cgi-fcgi -start -connect $host:$port script with
the -supervise option, like:
cgi-fcgi -start -supervise -connect 127.0.0.1:1791 /path/to/dispatch.fcgi
Full Supervise run script becomes
#!/bin/sh
RAIL_NUMBER=$(basename $PWD|awk -F'-' '{print $2}')
RAILS_HOST=$(<env/RAILS_HOST)
RAILS_ROOT=$(<env/RAILS_ROOT)
RAILS_PORT=179$RAIL_NUMBER
exec envdir ./env \
cgi-fcgi -supervise -start -connect \
$RAILS_HOST:$RAILS_PORT \
$RAILS_ROOT/public/dispatch.fcgi
This would be in a script called run in your ~/service/someapp-$RAIL_NUMBER
directory, where $RAIL_NUMBER is 1-99. The references to ./env require a
directory named env to be set up in the same directory as the run script.
This should have at least 3 files in it:
RAILS_ROOT => contains one line that is the full path to your rails root directory.
RAILS_ENV => contains one word, either production or development
RAILS_HOST => contains one IP address or FQDN
You can set any other environment variables in this way by simply creating a
file with the variable name and its contents will become the value of that
environment variable. Because of the envdir ./env call before the cgi-fcgi
call, your rails application has access to any variables set in this way.
