[plt-scheme] simulating cgi contexts in plt web server

I asked about this in the thread
http://list.cs.brown.edu/pipermail/plt-scheme/2010-January/037711.html

Basically PLT currently does not allow passing environment variables to
subprocesses so it won't work well with PLT threads.  The way around it is
to use `env` program on *nix platform but that will incur one additional
call.

Cheers,
yc
