Actually you don't need to patch httpd-2.0 for *that*. You can write a small
module, which registers the mapper function at runtime. I can help you, if you
like (I'm a happy Gentoo user, though I'm naturally using my own httpd ebuild
;-))
However, I think, the map is way too special for common inclusion. A better
way would be to provide a general replace map (starting with 2.1, I'd
suggest). For 2.0 releases the small support module should be enough. How does
this sound?

DIVerses. Benannt nach all dem unstrukturierten Zeug, was die Leute da
so reinpacken und dann absolut positionieren ...
