If you want to rewrite Foo.php to Foo.phpf or Foo to Foo.phpf or bothor whatever 
is up to you. The example of rewriting Foo.php to Foo.phpf is just to show how 
to let old URLs ending with .php remain functional. The important bit is that 
the actual file path (right side of the rewrite rule) is phpf.

Using AddHandler works fine if you want to do it for all files in a directory 
that have a given extension, e.g. .php. I tried to apply it to a full file name, 
but that doesn't seem to work - it likes only file extensions, and thus can not 
be used for individual files. This is a bit silly, but apparently, we have to 
live with it :)
