publicfile as distributed does not know anything about *.css files, and
so serves them with a text/plain Content-Type header.  Uwe Ohse has a
patch which allows publicfile to read variables from its environment and
alter the default filetype:

	<URL:http://www.ohse.de/uwe/patches/publicfile-0.52-filetype-diff>

You'll also need to add the appropriate variable to publicfile's
environment (the following is untested, but should work):

	mkdir /service/httpd/env
	echo text/css >/service/httpd/env/CT_css
	sed -e 's}^exec e}exec envdir ./env e}' <run >run.tmp
	mv run.tmp run
	svc -t /service/httpd

IE doesn't always (ever?) respect the Content-Type header.
