Description:
------------
HTTP_WebDAV_Server relies on SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO to
figure out the requested url.

This makes it somewhat complicated to integrate the server
in applications that handles urls in a different way.

In my case I used the server in an application where I use
mod_rewrite to change:

/myapp/webdav/

into:

/myscript.php?url=/myapp/webdav/

and I had some funny results with the Server because this
way PATH_INFO is always empty and SCRIPT_NAME never appears
on my URL.

To work around the problem I had to override ServeRequest()
to set up $this->uri and $this->base_uri in my own way, and
http_PROPFIND() to pass my own path to $this->_mergePatches
() instead of SCRIPT_NAME. No problem with overriding but I
had to copy some large blocks of code only to change a
couple of lines.

It would be easier if, instead of relying on SCRIPT_NAME
there was a way to provide a custom "base path", maybe in
the form of a property, and if ServeRequest() didn't
unconditionally overwrite nonempty $uri and $base_uri
properties.
