The very first entry in the Compatibility notes describes how the AddType
command is incompatbile with the NCSA behaviour; NCSA allows
AddType foo/bar foo bar
which Apache forbids.

This is daft; there is absolutely no reason for Apache to behave this
way. A patch follows; I suggest that it should be included in 1.0.
