The next version of CGILua will allow the use of a "status" function, but we
are now checking how this would be implemented in the various launchers
(mod_lua is our main concern).

We prefer to have two different functions, one for the status line and one
for the headers. And when it comes to buffering, each launcher will be free
to implement it.

With this new function the users can send redirects or any other HTTP status
response.

Thanks for the feedback
