 Angelo is right though: this .htaccess file basically checks what the server
supports and enables features in the webserver if they are available. So even if
the osuosl webserver currently doesn't have one of these modules installed, it
still makes sense to have it in the .htaccess file so it will be used when they
do install the module.
