Mongrel users - Jan 2007 - Rails Deploy Files - Remove?

So, now that we''re using Mongrel and not the horrid FCGI, do I really  
need these files in my Rails apps:

dispatch.fcgi
dispatch.cgi
.htaccess

??

The .htaccess file has rules for rewriting that look FCGI based. For  
Mongrel, I do my Apache re-writing in my config file, right?

is there a reason to include these files at this point?

Hi Hunter,

You don''t need them.

Also, the .htaccess can cause problems if you are, for instance,
proxying through Apache and serving /public statically (for caching)
