Friendly URL rules updated

Our Mod-Rewrite rules have been updated today to fix a long-standing problem preventing image thumbnails from working for images that have ampersands in their names. The update also fixes the home page URL so that it's just the naked domain without any appended pagename. The rules are in our Subversion repository in the wiki.vhost file. For more details see our local Friendly URL's article and the Short URL page in the MediaWiki manual.
