 On the Permalinks screen we show rewrite rules for IIS and for mod_rewrite
 on Apache. Nginx is
 [http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2011/09/06/september-2011-web-server-
 survey.html getting pretty popular now], so we should think about showing
 Nginx rewrite rules on this screen.

 Unfortunately WordPress can't write directly to Nginx's rewrite
 configuration, but we can show the required rules for convenience and we
 can allow plugins to filter them if necessary (in the samw way IIS and
 mod_rewrite rules can be filtered).

Comment (by dd32):

 Those rules can be slimed down a bit, no need to check for the file-exists
 check as try_files handles that through it's priority queue:

 {{{
 location / {
     try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$args;
 }
 }}}

 ie. If File exists, Elseif, If it's a Directory, Else, Lets pass it to
 !WordPress
