The problem with PATH_INFO is that it includes the VirtualHostMonster component
of the url, something I'd like to be abstracted from (that's the whole idea of
VirtualHostMonsters :). Right now I'm just stripping it out, but it would seem
sensible to have a variable that provides the true path of the REQUEST without
having to hack out the VirtualHostMonster component of the path.
