is there a something in the docs i missed explaining that this is what needs
to be done? it took me a very frustrating hour to figure this out.  if not
it should be submitted as a documentation bug, right?

well, they run suid'd to the user which is a whole lot less risky then
having them run as the user that the web server runs as.  i agree that
having another suid root binary is always a bad thing but suexec is kinda
pointless with out it, and it's a major security boon.
