So what do you think? Is HTTP_X_REWRITE_URL which is supported by two 
rewriters good enough or do we need the more complex setup which requires 
admin know-how from may first post.

I know that many here ignore Windows and IIS, but still we have such setups 
and you cannot XCLASS t3lib_div. There's no alternative to hacking (yikes) 
or adding stuff into it.
