[development] .htaccess patch for 404 of Non-drupal files

It is worth including the change in this page http://drupal.org/node/56773 to the standard .htaccess we distribute? This has two advantages: a) Avoid a Drupal bootstrap for every 404 of these files. b) Send a smaller number of bytes when this happen. I believe the majority of sites would not want Drupal to handle 404 for these files. I can make the patch if it has a chance of getting through.
