Your solution seems to be pretty bulletproof. I definitely appreciate
it. Just wondering though for posterity sake, have you or anyone ever
run into a host that had both $_SERVER['path_translated'] and
$_SERVER{'documentRoot'] broke? I've seen $_SERVER{'documentRoot'] not
being correct, but has anyone seen it not correct and not having
$_SERVER['path_translated'] available? Previously, when I saw
$_SERVER['documentroot'] incorrect, I didn't know about
$_SERVER['path_translated'] so I don't know if it was good or not.

Looks like it'll work. Thanks. Maybe one day the people at PHP will
fix it so we don't have to work around it.
