[Rails] Frustrated with RoR environment splintering

As someone just coming from "robust and scalable mod_perl", the Rails
way feels like a great relief to me. Trying to run more than one
application in the same mod_perl is Not Fun, in general. It's all
right if you wrote all the applications yourself so you can make sure
they don't want difference versions of the same module or stomp on
each other's global variables, but if it's applications off the net
you usually end up running one Apache per application anyway.

By sticking each Rails application in an FCGI environment of its own,
this kind of problem just doesn't exist. Which is nice.

(Now, if I could just figure out how to tell lighttpd to set the
charset to UTF-8 by default like WEBrick does, I'd try that one out too.)
