I tried this and it made bad things happen. It tried to send =
_everything_ to the script. That means even ~username won't work. Also, =
all the links will have an extra "/" so they don't work.
i.e. WikiSandbox resolves to http://someserver.com//Main/WikiSandbox

I tried this too, but I coudn't get index.php not to appear (only works =
the first time, but the links all point to =
http://someserver.com/index.php/SomeGroup/SomePage. This is because =
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_NAME'] includes the name of the script even if =
it is the default document.
