BTW, an interesting (I think) pattern that I found, with a hook I added 
  to wsgikit.urlparser which calls __init__.urlparser_hook(environ) when 
it's parsing the URL.  In the root of an "application", I do something like:

def urlparser_hook(environ):
     if 'todo.base_url' not in environ:
         environ['todo.base_url'] = environ['SCRIPT_NAME']

This way as urlparser continues its parsing I keep a kind of bookmark to 
the state of SCRIPT_NAME.
