There is no such thing as a 'small,portable cgi server'. Cgis are
executed by the web server following the directives that the sysadmin
define.

Have the admin email me, for $40 I'll turn it on ;-).

It shouldn't be *that* hard to be honest. Setting up CGI under a web server has
been part of the base functionality since the WWW came on the scene. If you can
do it politely, suggest he check the docs for the server. Even the apache ones
aren't overly technical.

Sounds remotely like FAQ:

13. How do I allow each of my user directories to have a cgi-bin
directory?

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ-F.html#user-cgi

For security reasons and to ease up things for people using their
own .cgi, I'd setup apache suEXEC support in addition, which
might not be available in some distro apache packages without
recompile.

Good luck

BTW
Looks to me as if you'd qualify better to mangle the above in
something more polite.

If you want a "mini-httpd server" go to http://freshmeat.net and search
for "httpd"

I like Cherokee, and Monkey serves CGI fairly well.
