Daniel: According to the PT flag documentation, when RewriteRule is defined

I know nothing about Apache httpd and .conf files. The ledgersmb-httpd.conf
file is supplied by the developers as is. Installation onto Windows is
complicated by having to translate Ubuntu instructions into their Windows
equivalents. Not easy.
