tinkering with publisher

I would like for a module to handle all the requests for a directory,
and any "subdirectories" (as far as the URL can tell) therein.

For example:
www.example.com/pics/zoo/bob
- would get all pictures of bob at the zoo.

www.example.com/pics/kayaking/fred
- would get all pictures of fred on the kayaking trip.

It would make sense to use just one handler (in the pics/ directory) as
it does the same thing for all pics "subdirectories" (which need not
really exist).  The directories would be ANDed together by the picture
finder so that:

www.example.com/pics/zoo/bob/fred/kayaking/jim

which would find all the pictures of jim, fred and bob kayaking at the
zoo.  I realize the further requirements of this, such as associating
individual pictures which each of these people/places, but that's the
nature of my project anyway.

Another example of where this is useful is in tracking logs:

www.example.com/serverA/march/2005/ssh

could search through serverA's logs and find changes made to the ssh
systems in march of 2005.

Obviously I can do this kind of thing without by parsing the url myself
in a regular cgi, but i was wondering if there way any way to coerce the
publisher into permitting it.
