  1. The simple answer: These declarations rewrite every request to a rewrite.php file.

    The more comprehensive answer: The RewriteCond and RewriteRule directives are from the Apache module mod_rewrite and provide a rule based URL rewrite mechanism.

    It seems that these rules are intended to rewrite every request to a rewrite.php file, either in a specific directory (/~foobar/rewrite.php) or in the root (/rewrite.php).
