Summary: ErrorDocument shouldn't be given when using mod_rewrite

Initial Comment:
Hello,

In .htaccess on my s9y installation, s9y generated this
line:

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

This is not necessary since I am using mod_rewrite for
URL rewriting.

What's more, it's harmful.  I recently switched from a
different blog software on this domain, and old URLs
*should* be given a 404.  Otherwise, bots and humans
will believe that these old URLs are still valid, and
all sorts of oddity can occur.  Among other things,
requests for image files or XML feeds could be
fulfilled with HTML documents.
