I don't think 2 mapserv binaries are necessary.  For MS4W it will be  
one mapserv binary, but Apache will be configured for 2 different  
script aliases for the cgi-bin directory (one with fastcgi settings  
and one without).  So to answer your question: yes a fastcgi-compiled  
mapserv can run as a normal cgi.
