No, I'm already using that.  The problem is, without rewrite rules,
one has to have

http://mysite.com/script.cgi/somedir/somepage

and I consider the "script.cgi" bit in the middle to be ugly.
Besides that, I want it to be transparent as to whether any given
page is served by the script, or is static, because I don't want to
break existing links.

That is, originally, before using the script, the url would have been

http://mysite.com/somedir/somepage

and I want to hide that that's changed.
