If AcceptPathInfo is on, PATH_INFO behaves exactly as in Apache 1.x,
i.e. it may either be undefined or defined, depending on the actual
path.

Unfortunately I have no idea whether the value of AcceptPathInfo can be
deduced from within PHP. Maybe someone with more experience on PHP can
answer that?

However, since the preferred installation method (as described in
http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/PrettyWiki) requires modifying
the top-level .htaccess or the server configuration, IMHO it would be
simpler to just provide a sample top-level .htaccess like follows:

<IfDefine APACHE2>
   AcceptPathInfo on
   ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</IfDefine>
<IfDefine !APACHE2>
   SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</IfDefine>

Hmm... Of course, AcceptPathInfo setting should still be detected
somehow, or else it might be difficult to get PhpWiki to work reliably
out-of-the-box... Suggestions for workarounds?

Cheers,
