Using the upload module should make it a bit easier for you to write
your own form-handling script than not using the upload module.

With a combination of upload_set_form_field and upload_pass_form_field
directives, you'll be able to get the 10 digit filename and the 16
digit ID to your script. "rename" the one to the other in your script,
and you are done.

Don't mess with the module code. proxy_pass or fastcgi_pass or something
to your own form handler and do it there.

Good luck with it,
