If you have trouble understanding what your RewriteRules do start by
enabling the RewriteLog.
You should understand that in your httpd.conf the RewriteRule will
operate directly on the URL, so it is really immaterial what Docroot
etc... has been set to.
With RewriteRules you can translate URL to filename entirely bypassing
all other directives...
