mirrors and SSIs

The current setup assumes that mirrors have SSIs enabled.  Some don't.
How do we resolve that?

How can IncludesNoExec be a concern?

I'm fine with that decision, but I don't think it is in
how-to-mirror.html.  It should be added, and a note should be sent to the
mirrors list if that is what we want to do...

No this is the wrong answer.  I, for example, refuse to run CGIs or SSIs
that I download automatically from taz... and I trust Brian.  Requiring
mirrors to run SSI or CGI means that a compromise of taz can be a
compromise of every single mirror site.

Alexei you wrote a perl script that we use to get rid of the SSI for
distribution, it should also be running on the live site.

If they don't have SSI enabled, they're not mirrors, and IMHO we should
remove them from the HTTP mirror list.
