Added a comment explaining why this file must really have #!

/usr/local/bin/python and not #! /usr/bin/env python.

#! /usr/local/bin/python
# NOTE: the above "/usr/local/bin/python" is NOT a mistake. It is
# intentionally NOT "/usr/bin/env python". On many systems
# (e.g. Solaris), /usr/local/bin is not in $PATH as passed to CGI
# scripts, and /usr/local/bin is the default directory where Python is
# installed, so /usr/bin/env would be unable to find python. Granted,
# binary installations by Linux vendors often install Python in
# /usr/bin. So let those vendors patch cgi.py to match their choice
# of installation.
