I had a quick look at it and found that ripping everything from mod_example.c shipped with apache and implementing serving tiles (via sendfile, so no copy to userspace needed) is fairly easy. I have the stripped mod_example.c available, so if I can get my hands on your FastCGI C code, I may copy the relavant parts to the apache module. Is it availably in the SVN?
