Thanks!

I was going to complain that that would make all my URLs ugly, but
then I read this:
http://webware.colorstudy.net/twiki/bin/view/Webware/ModRewriteRecipes

Since I don't expose servlets, just .psp pages, I did this in my
Apache conf:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*\.psp)$ /WK/Yammer/$1 [L,PT]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /WK/Yammer/$1/index.psp [L,PT]

and everything works great.
