So far...

  * URL Rewriting (mod_rewrite + .htaccess)
    o Most popular approach.
    o Addresses all three issues.
    o Requires Apache's mod_rewrite module.
    o Requires server configuration using .htaccess (or httpd.conf).

  * Aliases (mod_alias + httpd.conf)
    o Server-administrator experience is highly recommended.
    o Addresses all three issues.
    o Requires Apache's mod_alias module.
    o Requires server configuration via httpd.conf with a restart.

  * An Index File (index.php wrapper script)
    o Addresses issue #2 and issue #3.
    o Rarely requires extra server configuration.
