trying again: CgiHttpServer workalike for Win/NT and Win/98?

I thought I had posted this request (mailed it to the list, to
be precise), but it doesn't seem to have 'taken', so, I'm
trying again, via the NG this time -- sorry if it's a repeat.

To test some CGI scripts with minimal hassle, I would like to
be able to run CgiHttpServer.py, or something similar to it,
on some Windows/NT and Windows/98 PCs.  Unfortunately
for this purpose, it seems that CgiHttpServer.py itself is oriented 
to Unix (e.g., it wants to fork to run the script).

I guess I could try to hack it (particularly because I'm really
only interested, at this time, in testing CGI scripts which are
themselves written in Python), but I thought it might be wiser
to ask around first -- likely somebody's already done this
kind of thing and has a .py which I could download from
somewhere...?

In the meantime, I'm using xitami -- small, fast, neat, etc
etc -- but I liked the idea of a simple, minimal server in 
Python, easy to tweak and keep fully under control...:-).


TIA,

Alex
