Summary: lxr.css and CGI script handling mode

Initial Comment:
Hello,

in LXR v0.9.4 whenswitching .htaccess to be the CGI 
mode one, the lxr.css file generates the following 
apache (v1.3.x and v2.0.x) server error:
file permissions deny server execution: /var/lxr/lxr.css

there is no valid file permissions to resolve  the error.

the root of the problem is in the <Files> section of 
the .htaccess (cgi style):
<Files ~ (find|search|source|ident|diff|cgi-bin)$>
SetHandler cgi-script
ForceType text/html
</Files>

the use of the SetHandler directive forces *all* files to be 
treated as cgi scripts, even the stylesheet file.

a better approach would be to suffix the scripts with .pl 
and use the AddHandler directive.
this way the stylesheet will be treated normally.

many thanks
andrea
