I think in the current state - vdradmin needs to be running all the time
(autotimer!) so a passive (not ever running) cgi script is not possible.
 Installing a full apache is overkill for a small system, but with "top" I
see that vdradmin needs 15MB of RAM! (why?) The apache only 3MB.
(this was yesterday, today it has 19MB - maybe a memory leak in perl?)
[This is perl, v5.6.0 built for i586-linux]

btw. vdr itself also "eats" the memory. With top I see that each process
needs 10M (RSS) -> 5 processes=50MB? Is this true?
