Do you have a doc (blog, webpage, anything) reference?  Perhaps this
was via a third-party patch that wasn't integrated into mod_fcgid 2.2
mainline, which is what was donated to the ASF?

I don't see any such capability in the code.

none discussed so far amongst httpd developers

sure (http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla or dev@httpd mailing list)

As you mention that someone implemented this before, I should point
out that the original author of the patch (whether a completely new
patch or an ancient one) should be the one to submit the patch.
