[Web-SIG] WSGI: QUERY_STRING and cgi stdlib module

I thought I'd note that in testing I noticed that if QUERY_STRING is 
missing the cgi module falls back on sys.argv, which is aweful.  WSGI 
says QUERY_STRING is optional, but if you pass the WSGI environment to 
cgi.FieldStorage you get this bug.  Should QUERY_STRING just be 
required?  It's almost always set anyways.
