The way I do it is to leave the Webware directory as <Location /WK>,
then rewrite the static URLs to their original URLs, and everything else
into /WK.

Here I use /WW for the Webware directory, and the static directories are
/images, /pix/images and /pix/images/thumbs .

1 RewriteRule ^/images(.*) - [L]
2 RewriteRule ^/pix/(images|thumbs)/(.*) - [L]
3 RewriteRule ^/WW($|/.*) - [L]
4 RewriteRule ^/(.*) /WW/$1 [L,PT]

The "L" is necessary on all rules except 4, to prevent 4 from executing.
"PT" is necessary on 4, or WebKit won't get the request.
3 prevents /WW/index.py from being rewritten to /WW/WW/index.py .

I don't think you can leave WebKit at / and make certain subdirectories
static.  If you could, it would be a matter of

	<Location /images>
	SetHandler apache-core-default-handler
	</Location>

but I don't know how you can change the handler back to the default once
it's been set to something else.
