In the scripts subdirectory is a file called "driver", the comments at the top of the file say its used to run CGI scripts. In a standard 2.1.5 installation I don't see anything that actually invokes "driver", but perhaps I've overlooked something. When is driver invoked? Is it only for optional third party cgi scripts?

"driver" is invoked directly by the wrappers in cgi-bin. See src/cgi-wrapper.c

Look in src/cgi-wrapper.c. This C file is compiled into the actual binaries that live in cgi-bin, and it's used to hop into the CGI Python scripts, via... yep! the driver script.
