I would be happy for anyone to give a crack at it.  Here's what we would like:

Request from user:

/cgi-bin/foundation/index/id=23942/mv_pc=1/st=db/co=yes

Apache "Rewrites" the request as:

/cgi-bin/foundation/index?id=23942&mv_pc=1&st=db&co=yes

Additionally, something would have to be done to generate the urls with "/" 
notation.

Also, please note:

                 Your reply.

     versus

                 Your reply, lazily put at the top.

                 Quoting user1 (<user1@somedomain.redhat.com>):

         In fact, the author of the program stops following a thread
         the moment this lazy quoting method is used. He figures that
         if you can't take half a minute of your time to save multiple
         minutes of the readers time, the heck with ya.
