- Changes for 1.5.1
- ------------------
- *) Imagemaps (both internal and external) now add the path of the map file
- for non full path urls in the map file
- *) A couple logging functions didn't check reqInfo->remote_name for a NULL
- *) change getuid to geteuid in httpd.c so that effectively root people can
- start the server and have it change uids
- *) Slight code rearrangement to make Redirects from .htaccess more
- useful because the file doesn't have to exist.

- *) Added OnDeny command for Limit directive which allows a redirect on
- failure (esp. useful for denying by referer)
