It matches nginx behavior, as well as Apache w/ FoldersFirst

Ah, "perl -I lib script/public-inbox-httpd -l $HOST:$PORT"
lets you run on ~/.public-inbox/config, or whatever PI_CONFIG=
you want.  When I work on WWW changes, I also use:

   plackup -I lib -o 127.0.0.1 -R lib -r examples/public-inbox.psgi

Which does auto-reloading and ensures stuff works on generic
PSGI servers.
