Yes, the only CGI that was being shipped by default was testcgi.exe.

My personal feeling is that the default configuration of most programs
is insecure in some respect, so that one should always do things like
remove the default CGI programs.  And hence it wasn't such a big deal.

But general 'net experience says that there are a lot of people that
don't remove/disable insecure default items, so I guess a little
paranoia is called for.
