>Description:
This patch allows the specification of the user directories to
use something other than ~ (tilde).  This allows user directories
to be accessed by something like 

  http://foo.bar.com/home/tony/index.html

if the configuration line 

  UserHomes home/

is added, rather than 

  http://foo.bar.com/~tony/index.html

which would occur using the default setting or ~ for UserHomes.

Here is the patch:

State-Changed-Why:

This can also be achieved via the RewriteRule directive
(mod_rewrite). I think there is no need to add such a
feature to the UserDir directive.
