Joomla master .htaccess - differences 2.4.6 - 3.2.f (r)

Based on the version 2.3 code originally found at: http://snipt.net/nikosdion/the-master-htaccess/ and now listed at: http://code.google.com/p/joomla-master-htaccess/source/browse/trunk/joomla-master-htaccess.txt?spec=svn2&r=2

The original file contains a number of syntax errors, several rules that can never work, and a number of expressions that can be more efficiently coded.

Bugs and enhancements originally discussed at: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=432&t=549841

Discussion also at: http://snipt.net/nikosdion/the-master-htaccess/

The new 2.4.6 proposed file: http://snipt.net/g1smd/joomla-master-htaccess-file-proposed-v24-2011-04-09/ \[404]\ or at: http://code.google.com/p/joomla-master-htaccess/source/browse/trunk/joomla-master-htaccess.txt?spec=svn4&r=22

NOTE: this is not now the latest version of the file.
