Right now, the docs (web-server.txt) start off with this variant:

  RewriteRule ^/qdemo(/.*) /www/cgi-bin/demo.cgi$1 [last]

and then refine that to this:

  RewriteRule ^/qdemo(/.*)?$ /www/cgi-bin/demo.cgi$1 [last]

which I think is a clear and logical procession.  So I'm going to leave
it alone, even if that's a tad different from Apache's docs.  Also,
demo.txt and web-server.txt are consistent now, which they once were
not, so I don't want to screw with *that*!  Internal consistency is most
important.
