I do certainly welcome some help with Apache configuration to make the
rewrite rules behave better. I hate doing sysadmin stuff, so when it
worked more or less, I considered it good enough :)

What I currently have is:

        RewriteEngine on
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteRule ^/results/([a-f0-9]{3})([a-f0-9]{37})/(.*) /results/$1/$1$2/$3 [L]

this is needed because the old URLs were:

	/results/<complete-hash>/

while the way it's stored (and the new URLs) are:

	/results/<first three chars of hash>/<complete-hash>/
