rewrite_rules() already has a check to see if the permalink structure
starts with index.php so that the prefix can be set correctly.  We can
put this same check in options-permalink and throttle the RewriteRule
output appropriately.  In their place, we could put, "Congratulations,
you don't need a computer science degree to understand this."  Or
something like that. :-)
