[ic] rewriting script alias on fly

I wish to create a framed version of a catalog wherein
URLs normally of form:

http://domain.com/vlink.cgi/page?stuff
map to
http://domain.com/vlink.cgi/Framed/page?stuff

I can see right off that the SpecialPages break, for example
the flypage 
http://domain.com/vlink.cgi/PA1001?merchant=primroseacres
does not map to
http://domain.com/vlink.cgi/Framed/PA1001?merchant=primroseacres
but needs to be
http://domain.com/vlink.cgi/Framed/flypage?mv_arg=PA1001&merchant=primroseacres

I'll probably just modify the [page tag] to look for PATH_INFO "Framed"
and use that ScriptAlias if it finds it.  Or maybe set a session variable.

Has anyone gone down this road before and if so, can you share with
me how much else is going to get mangled?
