It does look interesting. However there are two things we'd have to sort
out. First of all, is there a way to differentiate between Get/Post/Cookie?
If not, I'm sure he'll add that to his C lib.
Also, we'd still need to check out the variable names and see if they are
arrays, and then deal with them ourselves.
So there would still be a bit of work involved.
What do you think? Is there any documentation for this project? There's not
too much in his .tar.gz and I just took a quick look.
