Close... the only documentation for AddDescription says that the "fileid"
can be

"a filename extension (like .html), a filename, a full real pathname to
a file on your system, or a wildcard pattern to match to filenames"

(http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/docs/setup/srm/AddDescription.html)

So I would expect (according to the second clause) to be able to use
AddDescription in a .htaccess file to point to a file in the same
directory, without having to give the full path (for portability
reasons), but that doesn't work, although it does if I put a *
before the filename of course, since that's a regexp which matches the
full path.

I would +1 it with that caveat I suppose - a kludge would be to presume
every fileid started with a "*"... :)
