.htaccess and robots.txt are for totally different purposes.
.htaccess is local to httpd and shouldn't be accessible by client.
However robots.txt is meant to be accessible by client and it merely directs
crawlers. robots.txt should not be used to hide stuff that are not
supposed to be accessible by client.
