h3. /usr/wt

The fastcgi socket has been put into /usr/wt/socket because the default wt build does put its own session server sockets as $prefix/wt/run/server-$X. There is no requirement to let the lighttpd precreate fastcgi wt servers to handle different connections as wt will schedule server creation and session scheduling internally. The internal creation of session servers is not logged to httpd log (where it should be).
