Actually, I got it working, but not terribly well.  I ended up having to:

1) Change thttpd so it sets SCRIPT_FILENAME.
2) Recompile the Debian php4-cgi from source and use the
   --enable-discard-path flag in debian/rules.

But, now, I'm having a strange problem where some PHP CGI requests don't
flush all the output (so I only have part of a page come back).  It mostly
only seems to happen with POST method requests.

I think the problem is with thttpd because, after adding flush() and
ob_flush() to the PHP script, it doesn't improve.  I sent a request to the
author of thttpd to see if he can help me.
