you can achieve that via the mentioned "fixePostVars" - just have a look 
at the realurl documentation

Sure, but it is difficult without indication segments like "category" in 
the URL - as you don't know which path segment belongs to the categories 
etc. That's why I wrote that maybe adding a special character to the 
category path could ease things up.

realurl has hooks to manipulate the final URL, as well as pre-process 
incoming URLs. That way you can beautify/manipulate URLs up to a certain 
degree.
