Changed information for PR mod_mime/181

Synopsis: AddHandler (and others?) doesn't match the extension properly

State-Changed-From-To: open-closed
State-Changed-By: pcs
State-Changed-When: Tue Apr 15 04:19:33 PDT 1997
State-Changed-Why:
This is the correct behavior. Multiple file extensions
can be used to give various types of meta information, such as 
handler, language, mime type and encoding. It will always honor
all extensions. 

As a workaround, if you want to hide an extension, you
could use an extension which has no meaning - which will
make all extensions to the _left_ of this one ignored.
E.g. file.map.xxx.html - the 'map' extension will be
ignored, provided 'xxx' is not defined as a mime type,
languague, handler or encoding.
