mod_mime_magic.c and mod_cern_meta.c

They don't play well together.  

I get many:

[Thu Jul 10 22:35:41 1997] can't stat `/usr/home/marcs/public_html/.web' (No such file or directory).

mod_cern_meta appears to be doing ten zillion (try it on a directory index
with lots of files) subrequests which makes things unhappy.  Can I blame
Dean?  <g>

Sigh.  Should mod_mime_magic not whine on non-existent files, but simply
exit?  Should mod_cern_meta be nicer?

Yep blame it on me if you want.  But do you have another solution?  We
could just protect against symlink abuses with the permissions of the file
being served with a symlink testing open().
