Note that there are two parts to this problem: Firstly you want
/photos (for example) to do a subrequest for /cgi-bin/cms?page=123 (or
whatever).  Secondly if the CMS links to itself, then URLs in the
generated page need to be rewritten to friendly URLs.  The first part
is adequately solved by mod_rewrite.  I've never really found a good
tool to solve the second problem - but I'm sure others will jump in
here and point one out.

In the end it's often a matter of fixing the CMS to generate proper
URLs in the first place - which is what we did with COCANWIKI.
