There should be a note about this in the mailing list archives.
I don't remember exactly when I posted it, so here's a copy of
a set of Apache ReWrite rules that should do what you want.

<VirtualHost my.virtual.ip.address>
    # standard virtual domain stuff goes here
    ...
    # set directory path to the cgi-bin directory for this domain
    # (in this case, it's the same as the system cgi-bin directory
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/home/httpd/cgi-bin/"
    # rewrite external URLs to internal pathnames
    # Note that the [PT] (Pass Thru) flag is used to let the
    # /cgi-bin/ part of the replacement string to be evaluated by
    # by the ScriptAlias rule. Alternatively, we could just put
    # the complete directory path in there, but the former is
    # more portable.
    RewriteEngine On
    # comment out the next two rewrite rules if you want to have
    # a splash page prior to going to the home page for this catalog
    # matches on http://myhost.com
    RewriteRule ^$              /cgi-bin/store/index.html        [PT,L]
    # matches on http://myhost.com/
    RewriteRule ^/$             /cgi-bin/store/index.html        [PT,L]
    # don't change URLs like http://myhost.com/cgi-bin/store/*
    RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/store/.*       -                       [PT,L]
    # default rule change http://myhost.com/somepage to
    # /cgi-bin/store/somepage
    RewriteRule ^/(.*)          /cgi-bin/store/$1                [PT,L]
</VirtualHost>
