Michael?) please add auto shutdown (after some idle time) feature to TFCGIApplication? If you had looked at ExtPascal's FCGI implementation, it offers this feature. This feature is to prevent the FCGI app keep always running when it actually does nothing (idle). For some situations, this feature is usefull and handy. I saw the CGI gateway already able to execute local FCGI app if it fails to connect to it.

The class hirarchy and dependency is quite complex, at least to me. I'm afraid I'm gonna mess them up. :D Or, if you don't have time to do it, please give me some lights about how to implement this feature correctly (how and where).

Unless Joost does it first, I'll have a look at it next week. 
But it will be under control of an option, and this option 
will be 'off' by default.
