I think this is a bit too much,

<Directory /path/to/docroot>
     AllowOverride Options
</Directory>
will be enough if we provide our own .htaccess, and
<Directory /path/to/docroot>
     Options MultiViews
</Directory>
will be sufficient if we do not.

.htaccess should look like this:
Options MultiViews
AddDefaultCharset utf-8

IIRC we use mod_rewrite only on dynamic website. It is not needed on static mirrors.
