this works, and it needs just one preg_replace.

But i think i discovered a bug in FmtPageList, or maybe a feature?
the code reads:

 # Handle "group/" at the beginning of the form-submitted request
 if (preg_match("!^($GroupPattern(\\|$GroupPattern)*)?/!i", $rq, $match)) {
   ......

The 'i' modifier in the regex treats it case-insensitive, even though
$GroupPattern starts with an upper case letter.
so input of  'main/apples' is the same as 'Main/apples',
although the group is 'Main'.
That's why 'scripts/auth' does not work.
Without the 'i' modifier input 'scrips/auth' will work.
Can we do without the 'i' modifier, or serves it a good purpose?
