Comment(by aaroncampbell):

 Here are my thoughts:

  1. Apache doesn't supply "AccessFileName" to PHP, so there's no way to
 detect it.
  1. While .htaccess occurs 21 times, most of those are in comments or
 strings.
  1. I agree with dd32 that I would prefer a filter.  I propose using
 'access_file_name' and I'm attaching a patch that will take care of this.
  1. Since I think think this will only affect a very small group of
 people, I don't really think we need to change the strings.  However,
 since this is a filename, we could just drop a `%s` into those strings
 (probably the right way to do this anyway) and pass the filtered filename.
 There are currently 5 translated string that would need to be adjusted.
