This is a way to much overhead, just for this function, isn't it? > I can help > you, if you like that would be great.

That replace map sounds great to me. this would fill the requirements for MediaWiki (easily) and could be use for more general purposes as well. However, I fear a bit for the syntax to be used in httpd.conf then since I'm not that creative ATM. I submitted a patch in [1] just before I read your mail. I'm willing to spend some time tonight to write that module - but I'll maybe need some help anyway. lets see.
