Regarding reopening #511387, that's fine. I pushed hard for a while to get this
in Fedora. In fact, I wrote the original autotools patch and helped the
upstream maintainer with autotools before he integrated the patch for 0.7. That
being said, I do not have a good solution to the issues raised on the
fedora-packaging mailing list; see:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2009-February/msg00047.html

especially:

Progress was stuck because 1) I don't think that we should ship a shared
library name that is different that what upstream intends 2) we can't have two
packages with the same shared library name and 3) I did not feel like asking
the developer to rename his project due to one distribution's preferences.

I'd like to see cgilib packaged. I just did not have the time to work through
this. I did invest a lot of time to get my autotools work in, so I would like
to cgilib in Fedora eventually.
