Whoa there! BASEPATHx and URLPATHx are the path portion of BASEx and URLx respectively.  That is, if
BASE1 == "http://www.foo.com/x/y/z" then BASEPATH1 == "/x/y/z".  All of these take path manipulation
into account.

It's SCRIPT_NAME, REQUEST.script, and the various surgical contortions which try to extract the path
part of URLs that are deprecated by these newcomers.  Any place SCRIPT_NAME used to appear, it
should be replaced with BASEPATH1.

Cheers,
