No need to backtrack into SCRIPT_NAME.  I meant the home page of this
Quixote application, not the server's document root.

    path = request.get_environ('PATH_INFO', '')
    if not path:
        return quixote.redirect('/')


That way if I go to http://example.com/app it'll redirect to
http://example.com/app/ .  Same for http://example.com ->
http://example.com/ .  The problem isn't a stupid server, it's users
typing URLs without a trailing slash.

This is not related to moving stuff from SCRIPT_NAME to PATH_INFO if
PATH_INFO wasn't set correctly.  I assume that's already been done by this
point.
