- a lot of the variables here should probably be defined once they're fully
  worked out (language, cache_key, etc)

- this is really short and sweet, I like it a lot

- post/get stuff is great

- heh, use unlink() instead of exec('rm') ;)

- seems that the use of output buffering isn't so evil. it's pretty easy to
  follow, even given that most authors won't have to care about it anyway.

- i'm still playing with the i18n/xml stuff, will post something when it
  doesn't look like monkeybutt.

Ouch, yeah. Probably a pita to build a mirrored tree too. Hmm.

Definitely! Anyway, here's some .htaccess gumph to make this all a bit
cleaner and cooler. This would go in the <virtual> section for the sites, I
imagine.
