Re: base url includes SCRIPT_NAME, which contains too much stuff

SCRIPT_NAME is an environment variable that comes from whatever
environment you're running PyBlosxom in.  It shouldn't be the full
path--it should be the path from which the script was executed.  It's a
pretty standard CGI variable.

How does your environment build the SCRIPT_NAME variable?

Regardless, the documentation encourages you to set the base_url in your
config.py file if it's not getting generated correctly for your
situation.  I set it in my config.py file because I use mod_rewrite for
url rewriting.
