Removing the "index.php?" on Lighttpd setup?

Hi!
This setting will get rid of index.php:

[SiteAccessSettings]
ForceVirtualHost=true

If you run the setup wizard, it will complain that you are not in virtual host mode. Ignore it - it just fails to detect this correctly for ligttpd (it's not an officially supported webserver, after all).

Here is one example of a port based virtual host configuration:

$SERVER["socket"] == "localhost:81" {
server.document-root = vhosts_dir + "/ezpublish-4.0.0"
dir-listing.activate = "disable"

url.rewrite-once = (
"^/var/.*" => "$0",
"^/.*\.(css|html|htm|pdf|js|ico|png|gif|jpe?g|swf)$" => "$0",
"^/.*?(\?.*)?$" => "/index.php$1"
)
}

If lighttpd usage increases enough, we will support it. So far, there hasn't been much demand. I have only used it on my laptop and my home server.
