Well, it turns out that getting rid of Vary within mod_negotiation
isn't as straightforward as I'd hoped, so I've gone and change
http_protocol.c in version 1.3.37 and http_filters.c in 2.2.4 so that
setting "force-no-vary" does not fall back to HTTP/1.0.

The only way I plan to use "force-no-vary" is by putting the following
line in httpd.conf:

BrowserMatch MSIE force-no-vary

With that in mind, can someone who know more about these things than I
do comment on the safety of this approach? As long as I limit
"force-no-vary" to MSIE, is there any risk of *not* degrading to
HTTP/1.0? And are the changes I made in these files sane?
