You should be able to do the SetHandler inside a Files directive just
like you did with ForceType.  Have you tried that?

Thanks Perrin, that worked.  I didn't think SetHandler directives
were allowed in Files sections, because it's not listed in the SetHandler
docs (http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#sethandler), unlike
ForceType docs (http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#forcetype)
