suphp is generally okay, except for a major problem where it actually
comes in handy, that is, it borks at *anything* outside the docroot.

This includes Alias and UserDirs (~/public_html/).

The only way to avoid this problem is to give every user their own
subdomain, which in all practices is pretty silly.

I've heard of suexec and php cgi, but I'm yet to try it.
