I'm not sure if it's explained clearly in the CleanUrls recipe page,
but I think you can still *shorten* URLs on IIS, even if
$EnablePathInfo can't be used.

In other words, you can get from this
    http://www.example.com/~someuser/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HomePage
to this
    http://www.example.com/?n=Main.HomePage
even if this is not available
    http://www.example.com/Main/HomePage

See http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/CleanUrls#index_file

Can someone confirm that using an index file does in fact work on an IIS server?
