Log:
Point out that for multiple AddLanguage directives with the
same extension, the last one encountered dominates. This is
true of lots of directives, but this is the one on which we
got a PR..

The AddLanguage directive maps the given filename extensions to the
specified content language. <EM>MIME-lang</EM> is the MIME language of
filenames containing <EM>extension</EM>. This mapping is added to any
already in force, overriding any mappings that already exist for the
same <EM>extension</EM>.

Then the document <CODE>xxxx.en.Z</CODE> will be treated as being a
compressed English document (as will the document
<CODE>xxxx.Z.en</CODE>). Although the content language is reported to
the client, the browser is unlikely to use this information. The
