I've found only two FastCGI libraries for C++. There's the "official" one, and fastcgi++. How is either one better than the other? Do any others exist?

Why Use FastCGI Proxying? FastCGI proxying within Nginx is generally used to translate client requests for an application server that does not or should not handle client requests directly.
FastCGI is a fast, open, and secure Web server interface that solves the performance problems inherent in CGI, without introducing the overhead and complexity of proprietary APIs (Application Programming Interfaces).
Fast Common Gateway Interface (FastCGI) is a standard protocol for interfacing external applications to Web servers. It is a feature-enhanced version of the existing standard Common Gateway Interface (CGI).
The FastCGI module in IIS enables popular application frameworks that support the FastCGI protocol to be hosted on the IIS Web server in a high performance and reliable way.
What you probably want is hidden in the contrib directory of Cgicc package.
fcgi-test.cpp is an example of how to use cgicc with FastCGI.
Path to the installed fcgi-test.cpp should be
/usr/share/doc/libcgicc-doc/examples/contrib/fcgi-test.cpp

As fastcgi++ is still listed as "Development Status: 4- Beta" so I would suggest going for the official one. It has been around for ages and has bindings for a whole host of languages. Licences between the 2 don't seem to make much difference. Put some measurements in your code and if performance is an issue then spend some time playing around with alternatives.
