No, this script is actually only directly on www.freebsd.org server,
but it is just a wrapper around query-pr which is there to limit
number of simultaneous queries. I have attached it heree, just FYI.
We should probably stick it in www/...

Well, GNATS can get tricky to work, and it's not pretty...

Hmmm, AFAIR the port shouldn't be required... but I haven't messed
with it a while, so I can't recall.

It's not documented, and generally we don't expect mirrors to provide
CGI services. Actually getting all scripts working is entirely non
trivial. One reason for this is that at times we change stuff which
will require changes on the server if you use CGI's.
