		 * hence we just bail out and tell user that pretty permalinks cannot be used.

		 * This is not a big issue because PHP 4.X is going to be deprecated and for IIS it

		 * is recommended to use PHP 5.X NTS.

		 * Next we check if the URL Rewrite Module 1.1 is loaded and enabled for the web site. When

		 * URL Rewrite 1.1 is loaded it always sets a server variable called 'IIS_UrlRewriteModule'.

		 * Lastly we make sure that PHP is running via FastCGI. This is important because if it runs

		 * via ISAPI then pretty permalinks will not work.
