Django FastCGI init.d script for Gentoo Linux

If you're not using Gentoo Linux and for more information about FastCGI/init.d go back to Django FastCGI init.d script for Linux

The initialisation script

This version uses TCP connections. I'm working on a socket-version too.

Note: If the init script appears to start successfully, but the FastCGI process is not started, try appending the --oknodo argument to start-stop-daemon.
