Comment:

 When you invoked phpinfo() in the testers thread, I assumed you checked
 there to see if mod_rewrite was enabled. Sorry about that.

 If it isn't there, then there's not much we can do. We can make sure the
 error better indicates that mod_rewrite *may* still be enabled, but we
 just won't know. At the very least, the ticket can serve as a way for us
 to replace our manual apache_get_modules() check with apache_mod_loaded(),
 and provide more helpful messages.

 On the other hand, if it was in phpinfo() but apache_get_modules() didn't
 verify it as a module, then that would have been a setup we hadn't
 accounted for (probably because it doesn't quite make sense based on how
 apache_get_modules() works). That's what I was concerned about.
