You can certainly find a trick to circumvent the deliberate security
measures of your web server -- but i wouldn't do it.  If you can trust
your users that much that you'd like to bless all their CGI scripts
unseen, you can as well include them into the webadmin group, and make
the CGI directory writeable for this group.
