hi. thanks for your mail. i'd thought i was oking a diff, and it's
obviously been left at that.

anyway i rereviewed it, and decided my suggestion to have the sentence
in one place, though good, was bad ;) the trouble is it interferes with
the same sentence in SERVERS, and i worry it would make it unclear.

so i committed a diff which:

- changed brackets to braces, per raf's suggestion
- shortened that text, per mine
- noted that fatcgi could take multiple options
