 I use a non-standard .htaccess filename and thus the mod-rewrite for
 permalinks didn't work for me as the admin script wrote to a file called
 .htaccess - this also made my wordpress site throw an HTTP 500 error due
 to the "missing" .htaccess file

 I think it would be worth adding a check to see what the .htaccess
 filename is before writing it (the Apache config var is called
 "AccessFileName")

 I have worked around the problem by creating a symlink from the filename I
 use to .htaccess.
