Here's a patch to allow the Script directive to handle
arbitrary (e.g., site-specific or experimental) methods.
Current 2.0 behaviour is 'if it's not something hard-coded
into me, it's rubbish and gets tossed.'

I notice that this functionality already exists in trunk,
so this is essentially a feature^Woversight-correction backport.

As to why I came across this.. I think there's a bug in PUT
handling on 2.0.  Trying to track it down..
