Bad form to answer ones own posts.....

I found the answer in the (patched) mini_httpd source.  Everything after the 
domain name gets shoved into a variable and replace with index.php

This means that the contents of the $_GET array are effectively junk.  
However, as the stuff gets shoved into an environment variable I can drag it 
out of there.
