Don't need this SetHandler directive. That was need for mod_python but not
with mod_wsgi.

to here, should be able to be simplified to:
activate = os.path.join(here, 'bin', 'activate_this.py')
execfile(activate, dict(__file__=activate))
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(here, 'site'))
I no longer object to the activate_this.py script even though it modifies
sys.prefix. Although technically that could be problematic, hasn't shown
itself to be in practice.
