I thought the reason that Python had several subdirectories in the Lib
directory was to separate platform-dependent code from generic code.

If this CGIHTTPServer.py relies on a [mis]feature of Unix, should it
not be moved out of the Lib directory, and into a subdirectory
(plat-posix perhaps)?

Better still, is it possible to implement os.fork() under Win32?
