| The main "trick" with index.php/more/stuff/here is that web servers
| support additional path information *after* the script itself
(index.php
| here), and they put that in PATH_INFO. That's been around since
| the early days of CGI programs/scripts, and has been supported
| for related technologies like PHP or ASP afterwards as well.
|
| The rest is a matter of letting Xaraya know how to encode and
| decode those URLs, and that's where the <module>_userapi_encode_
| shorturl() and <module>_userapi_decode_shorturl() functions come in.
