have we?  can it be exploited by anything not server-side?  i don't
see how.

so would i, but i haven't managed it yet.

i see still using this directive even in that case, except that
it will become or_fileinfo instead of rsrc_conf and will be
able to be specified at finer granularity (such as <files>).

in the meantime, this is a real-world problem.  i'm proposing
an extensible solution to address it, with a default of 'off'
and documentation saying 'if you turn this on your scripts
had better be good, here's why.'
