Please stay. But if cross-development is your hardest problem, there is an
Apache for Windows NT/95 1.3b6 (Beta) release announced on www.apache.org.
I read an article in our c't magazine about it and could tell you the facts
on demand.

Hi, I think it's possible but I need some time to test my idea. The problem is
I've to go to work now. Could you wait until this evening please?
However, the placement of CGI-programs and web sites in one directory isn't
my personal favourite (transparency, security - user often has more rights in
HTML dirs than in CGI dirs).

My approach is to make conditional mappings for the same directory in
dependence on the file extension. This could work for several directories.
The common way how the url is handled is the choise of the mapper class
(CGIMapper or PathMapper an then the mime type of the file.)
I made some stuff to show /cgi-bin/ as directory and to execute the contents
by click on it. (Remember?)
