I've been meaning to test this, and finally got to it a bit to-day.
Unfortunately, it's not quite there yet -- it doesn't handle non-text/*
content-types correctly.  If the HeaderName gets multiviewed to
HEADER.gif, the binary gets included in the response.

I'm halfway through a fix; I'll post it after lunch.

I ran into that problem too; discovered mod_include handles it just as
bad; saw no obvious solution; decided to to take the easy way out and
be consistent with mod_include.
