lighttpd, url rewrite, plugins, and you

I attempted to login to do *some* kind of editing on the 1.3 book for
urls with lighttpd rewrites. i can log into Bakery just fine, but not
the book.

But that's not why I'm here. I did some basic searching through the
groups here to see if this had already been covered, but didn't find
anything.

I spent some time today trying to diagnose why my installation of
DebugKit was failing with css and js assets. Specifically, placing
debugkit into one of my controllers did "The Correct Thing' right up
until it tried to load the js and subsequent css.

The culprit ultimately was the rewrite rule I borrowed from section
3.3.5: http://book.cakephp.org/view/918/Pretty-URLs-and-Lighttpd

It states:
...
"/(css|files|img|js)/(.*)" => "/$1/$2",
...
Unfortunately, this forces matching against this css request: /
debug_kit/css/debug_toolbar.css. We really only want to match against
'native' (i.e., non-plugin) css. I modified my rule such:

"^/(css|files|img|js)/(.*)" => "/$1/$2",

Now cake does the right thing with plugin assets once again.
