So in case b) 'mod rewrite is not enabled', shouldn't we somehow trigger
at least an good error msg too, so the user is aware that webdav/caldav/carddav
will not work with this apache+php-cgi setup?  AFAIU the ifmodule check hiddes
only that webdav/caldav/carddav will not work.

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
