I would tend to agree except this config worked with Apache for Windows.

Good idea. Tried it. Didn't work:

$ net stop apache
The Cygwin Apache service is stopping........
The Cygwin Apache service was stopped successfully.

$ cd /etc/apache
$ mv httpd.conf httpd.conf.save
$ cp ../apache.new/httpd.conf httpd.conf
$ cp -rp ~/www/Internal/Release/addbug /var/www/htdocs
$ ll /var/www/htdocs/addbug

I had to add ExecCGI and index.cgi to httpd.conf but that's all I 
changed. When I went to "addbug" again it let me in there without any 
authentication. Nothing to report in the log files.

Perhaps we should take this offline...

Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?
