Yeah, yeah. I was fast once I actually did it. :-)

And EasyPublisher uses all of these already.

Because it would be wrong, ugly, inconsistent with GetPhysicalPath and/or
complicated to implement? :-)

To explain them I'll use Evans examples (without testing so I could be
wrong):

http://localhost:8080/temp_folder/test
getVirtualRoot(): ('',)
getVirtualPath(): ('', 'temp_folder', 'test')
getPhysicalPath(): ('', 'temp_folder', 'test')

http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.example.com:80/temp_folder/test
getVirtualRoot(): ('',)
getVirtualPath(): ('', 'temp_folder', 'test')
getPhysicalPath(): ('', 'temp_folder', 'test')

http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.example.com:80/temp_folder/VirtualHostRoot/test
getVirtualRoot(): ('', 'temp_folder')
getVirtualPath(): ('', 'test')
getPhysicalPath(): ('', 'temp_folder', 'test')

http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.example.com:80/temp_folder/VirtualHostRoot/_vh_foo/test
getVirtualRoot(): ('', 'temp_folder')
getVirtualPath(): ('', 'test')
getPhysicalPath(): ('', 'temp_folder', 'test')

I think.... :-)
