[Melbourne-pm] Apache re-write help

[scottp at dd.com.au]

Unfortunately not.

ModRewrite will only rewrite URLs, not query strings.
But it is not hard to write one that can in ModPerl.

Or... you can even write a CGI that receives "features" that returns a move.

If you need some stub I can whip one up.
