Alias which works like in other web servers

[marc at corky.net]

Hi,

Apache:  Alias /blog "/var/www/wordpress"

lighttpd: alias.url = ( "/blog" => "/var/www/wordpress" )

Both work pretty much the same way, no special handling of fastcgi or 
other rules are needed.

The "document root" effectively becomes that of the alias destination 
directory on such requests.
