Vhost twiddling not configured for requested pair.

[Brad Fitzpatrick]

This is a AJAX-helper function of the Vhost.pm plugin.

Basically, on a service selector service, where you'd normally configure
vhosts, you configure a magic vhost like:

  VHOST www.dev.lj;using:pics.dev.lj = fotobilder

Which says:

   If the HTTP request is to "www.dev.lj", but is actually asking (in the
   URI) to be routed to pics.dev.lj, that's okay:  use the "fotobilder"
   service for it.

Basically, this is for bypassing the same-origin security restrictions on
JavaScript when both origins are under your control, just with different
hostnames.

If javascript served from "www.dev.lj" wants to do XmlHttpRequest (or
whatever) to pics.dev.lj, it instead makes an HTTP request to:

   http://www.dev.lj/__using/pics.dev.lj/some/endpoint.php

Make sense?
