Reproducible: Always

* CC'ing bass for cherokee, www-servers for both.
* Assigning to qa. Tell me if that isn't alright.

cherokee ships a patched version of lighty's spawn-fcgi. We could try to make
spawn-fcgi an independent package again and patch in the additional features of
cherokee based on a USE flag. Or we could introduce a "spawn-fcgi" USE flag for
both lighty and cherokee and die in the ebuild if the other web server was
installed with USE=spawn-fcgi as well. Any ideas?

hoffie: yeah, others have requested such a change as well. lighty's spawn-fcgi
is quite popular. also the problems surrounding its startup script could be
solved as well.

does cherokee just use spawn-fcgi from lighttpd, or does it include local
changes? if so, the cherokee package should probably install spawn-fcgi as
cherokee-spawn-fcgi or similar.

if not, we should create a spawn-fcgi package, which installs spawn-fcgi from
lighttpd (or possibly cherokee).

As there has been no proper resolution for now, I added blockers so that users
will at least be notified before the build instead after it fails.

spawn-fcgi is now a separate project:
http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/spawn-fcgi

It has been removed from cherokee already
(http://svn.cherokee-project.com/changeset/2870), and it will be probably
removed from lighttpd 1.4.23.

this is fixed for cherokee-0.99.8
only affected version left is cherokee-0.98.1 (as well as all versions of
lighttpd)

this is fixed. recent versions of cherokee dont install the spawn-fcgi binary
anymore. the only version left still block lighttpd...
the next version of lighttpd will likewise cease to install the spawn-fcgi
binary - its progess is being tracked at bug #260174. meanwhile the block is
still in effect.

thanks for the reports.
