Yes, the handler will "process" every file, but if it's *not* a MPS
file the handler will return apache.DECLINED, telling apache that the
servlet handler is refusing this file and apache should do its normal
thing with this file.  The end result is that you can co-locate
MPS files with images, html, js, css, etc.; as long as it doesn't end
in ".mps" apache should do the correct thing.

You can also put "other" files in subdirectories and use "SetHandler
None" to get apache to not even call the python handler.  I assume
there's a performance boost doing it this way.

You can't use AddHandler with mpservlets.  The handler enforces
"clean" urls, in other words, if you have a file, /some/dir/foo.mps,
then the handler only allows referencing it with /some/dir/foo.
