 When testing "Network" activation on WP3.0a received a notification
 stating "Note It looks like mod_rewrite is not installed." - however
 mod_rewrite was both installed and active.

 I've been told by Andrew Nacin from the WP Testers list that the reason
 for this could be that apache_get_modules() exists but isn't returning
 that mod_rewrite is there.

 He also said "Based on the logic you had to go through to get that
 specific error, it simply sounds like PHP has no idea you have mod_rewrite
 and that our apache_mod_loaded() function (which we should to move the MS
 network upgrade over to) wouldn't think you have mod_rewrite either"

 Relevant info:

 PHP 5.2.12
 Apache 2.2.14

 var_dump( apache_mod_loaded('mod_rewrite') ); returns false, FWIW this
 also returns false on the same server but running 2.9.2

 RewriteEngine On is present on line 1 of .htaccess
