I don't think Quixote can really know what the mount point is unless
it is
told with the SCRIPT_NAME. If I understand your request, it would
be to to traverse SCRIPT_NAME if PATH_INFO is empty.
This would, in effect, be assuming without evidence
that the real mount point is '/', and the server is being stupid.
This does seem to be the common case. If this assumption is wrong,
the behavior would be very confusing.

It would good to have the server provide a proper environment,
and I think we're almost there with mod_scgi. Does this problem also
exist with lighttpd's scgi support?
