we could also do it the other way around. ucw would emit (every time
an entry-point needs te registered/unregistered) a new httpd.conf
snippet containing:

<Location [application.url-prefix][entry-point.url]>
  SetHandler lisp
</Location>

a large app would have many such lines (i've got an app with just
under 100), but it's still less than the number of static files
(thoudands for the aforementioned app) and it'd be pretty easy to do
(from the ucw side at least).

i was going to suggest that people prefix actions with /ucw/ [or
cgi-bin] and let apache select based on that, but isn't that the same
as uisng the .ucw suffix?
