Wakaba/Kareha patches (107)

This isn't actually a patch, but since I made it with Wakaba in mind, I'll post about it anyway.

I've created a wrapper for running CGI scripts on hosts with PHP that for some reason can't run regular CGI scripts. This means that if your host has Perl installed (more than likely, since it's included with all major Linux distros) and hasn't disabled proc_open() (which many shitty hosts tend to do for some reason), then it will be able to run Kareha and possibly Wakaba using this wrapper. Wakaba is less likely to run because it depends on the DBI module and database drivers which aren't included with the standard Perl distribution. Kareha depends only on core modules and will run perfectly fine nearly everywhere.

If you've been wanting to use Wakaba or Kareha, but your (crappy) host doesn't support CGI, I suggest trying this. It's especially useful with Kareha, since all the PHP-based textboard scripts suck.
