[Xitami] Defining cgi programs

Hello,

I've defined cgi-bin and installed my cgi script in a directory under 
it, and i can call it fine.

However, instead of passing the url 
http://myserver.co.nz/cgi-bin/myapp/script.cgi to people i'd like to 
pass a much nicer url http://myserver.co.nz/myapp/

Now i've figured out i can call the script index.html and place it in a 
directory under cgi-bin so that i just have the directory name in the 
URL and not need to specify the script filename in the url, but i can't 
figure out how to get rid of the cgi-bin part.

I've tried specifing aliases,
myapp = cgi-bin/myapp just gave 404,
myapp = <full path>/cgi-bin/myapp/ delivered the contents of the script 
instead of executing it (very bad!)

So, is there something i've missed or is there no way to do this in xitami?

TIA
dan.
