[mod_python] does add_handler even work?

Hmmm, checking some things, I actually find my VampireDirectoryIndex isn't
working on Apache 1.3 after all, and normal directory index stuff is going into
subdirectories okay. At least on one web site this is the case, I originally tested
it on another, so Apache config may have something to do with it.

I am reasonably confident though that DirectoryIndex wasn't working on Apache 2.0
in the same way which was why I came up with VampireDirectoryIndex in the first
place. I'll have to revisit and test all this again under a few web servers and try
and make better sense of it.

But then, all this stuff is related to mod_dir and not mod_autoindex. I'm confused,
so best to just ignore me. :-)
