This one is easy as it shouldn't require much coding ;-)
Lighttpd includes a utility called spawn-fcgi for running FCGI
processes. This is what I use for running PHP under Nginx, but it's
kind of annoying to have to install Lighttpd to get this utility.
Perhaps Nginx could just "borrow" this utility and include it in the
source archive (maybe under a different name to avoid conflicts)?
I have not written the similar utility, because spawn-fcgi does enough
to run PHP and I recommend to use it. I simply can not do it better,
because PHP has poor FastCGI support.
One of nginx users made patch against PHP-4.3.11 that does:
*) logging support;
*) control using signals;
*) detecting Zend Accelertor shared memory damage and restarting all processes.
As to spawn-fcgi, I usually do not include external code in source tarball,
for example, nginx can build zlib, pcre, etc. from sources, but
do not include these sources. I can include build procedure but it's trivial.
