The idea very much makes sense, but the implementation is a hack -- it 
makes it impossible to pass a query string literally saying 
"QUERY_STRING", or call a CGI script with that string anywhere in its 
name, and is incompatible with real SSI.

Apache's SSI allows one to reference variables with the '$' prefix, but 
I am not sure if it works with CGI arguments. I would expect it to, though.

Full variable handling might be an overkill, so if at all, perhaps it 
should contain a special case checking for "$QUERY_STRING" in the end of 
the CGI argument, and correctly handling the \$ escape.
