Are their any other distinguishing environment variables that IIS outputs?
Perhaps we can add special code to Fossil to work around the IIS bug.
Or, perhaps we can add a special parameter to the "cgi" file that starts up
Fossil. In addition to the "repository:" line, add a new line something
like:
iis-bug-workaround=yes
The issue is that the PATH_INFO environment variable is not removing the
SCRIPT_NAME prefix?
