Or: maybe os.environ should be left pristine, and request.environ should
be a mangled copy.  Ie. keep doing whatever we're doing to SCRIPT_NAME
and PATH_INFO in request.environ, but don't touch them in os.environ.

Assuming, that is, that the mangling done to request.environ is actually
*useful* to someone.  I'm pretty sure I've never needed it.
