ViewVC doesn't expose this information today.  Making this happen is pretty
easy, though.  Just tweak the function lib/viewvc.py:common_template_data()
to populate a data dictionary variable (say, 'request_uri') with the value
of the 'REQUEST_URI' environment variable.  Then in your template, just use
the [request_uri] EZT directive.

Here's a patch against the trunk code:
