Gearing up (again) for the next release: 2014.2.0.0

[Gershom Bazerman]

Actually, changing my opinion here. If there was an argument to _add_ 
cgi to the platform I'd be very dubious. Legacy considerations and 
history aside, cgi doesn't feel like a core/common thing that is 
necessary to have in the platform, and it probably hasn't been for many 
years. If Anders doesn't get around to fixing it up, I think we should 
have no compunctions dropping it, and I'd be shocked if there was much 
in the way of complaint.
