Patches are always welcome, but I can't guarantee that I can include 
them right now.

There shouldn't be a license issue from mod_rewrite.  The copyright 
statement will need to be preserved from that code of course and the 
license itself will need to be augmented to reflect the demands of that 
license.  They are more or less compatible.

I have some backhand rewrite stuff here in another branch, though it 
isn't my call to release it.  It does the proxying through EAPI, right?
