Thanks, it works wonderfully now!  Question, though: Why should it use
SCRIPT_NAME instead of PATH_INFO?  Or, I guess, what was the purpose of
PATH_INFO, why did SCRIPT_NAME take over, and where can I read more
about that?

I'm ignorant as to any standards that may apply, so if the information
is in them, please feel free to RTFM me. ;]
