Well, apache is definitely looking at .htaccess files, we're currently
using it to add a mime type to our files area (will remove if you want).

I'm not asking for script support, just to statically add some headers to
some files. But looking at the apache docs a bit closer, it doesn't look
like it's possible to enable "Header" without enabling too much else. Oh
well.

Anything that would let me add response headers would do the trick.
mod_cern_meta maybe?
