I'm not sure if this should have been two patches or just one.

First I changed the check of whether mod_cgi is built in or not from matching against 'mod_cgi.c' to 'mod_cgi' because I made the assumption that mod_cgid would be called 'mod_cgid.c' (I haven't actually checked this, but it sounds reasonable). Then, the second change handles the two cases when no cgi module is built in, which I did try (for mod_cgid that is).

Also, should the socket needed for mod_cgid be put in $GIT_DIR or somewhere else?

tl;dr I only actually tried 1/4 cases, everything else looks reasonable

--->8--- Some people have mod_cgid in place of mod_cgi, this will check which one the user has available to them first, and then act accordingly.
