The only rewrite rules I use are the ones to convert my /cgi-bin/WebObjects bla 
bla into the app name.

But I'm pretty sure I do have a problem here. :-) Because what I'm actually 
doing is creating symlinks in 
/Library/WebServer/Documents/WebObjects/Frameworks to the actual embedded 
framework resources in the split install of the app. I have to because those 
are the paths where the app tries to discover those resources in deployment. 
But I'm not really sure when this started to be a problem or why - I've always 
used the typical project layout and build files. Maybe my build files are 
behind the times? 'Cause they never really get updated unless you create a new 
project.
