[wp-hackers] Search Permalinks

I second this - mod_rewrite is very powerful, but should not be 
*required*. One question - if we do start eating the whole URI, does 
mod_rewrite not get a shot at it? I've got custom rules that are 
handling uris from my old CMS and redirecting them to the current WP 
posts, and I don't want to lose that functionality.
