Neil Mitchell (the hoogle author) informed me that the hoogle binary
behaves like a CGI when the QUERY_STRING environment variable is set.

Another problem with hoogle as a CGI is that it writes a log file
to the current working directory which on Unix is probably not
world writable.

I'm working with Neil to make hoogle a little more Unix friendly :-).

Cheers,
Erik
