I don't know why I never bothered to look this up, but I didn't. One thing I
typically do in my parent Cgiapp classes is to pass `$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']`
to the template. I just found out — through the pear-general newsgroup — that
this is unnecessary: use `$smarty.server.KEY_NAME` to access any `$_SERVER` vars
your template might need.
