[EP-tech] redirect some eprintid url to another site

CAUTION: This e-mail originated outside the University of Southampton.

Hi!

 we're migrating many objects from eprints to various other platform. I
would like to make redirects for the URLs of this documents. For example
from myeprint.com/eprintid to another.site.com/otherid (I have a map
with eprintid otherurl)

I'm trying to do it with RewriteMap and RewriteRule but Eprints define
the perl handler to manage urls (PerlTransHandler
EPrints::Apache::Rewrite) to handle rewrites. I would like not to use
cfg.d/url.pl because there are a lot of objects.

Any idea? Should I patch Rewrite.pm to do it internally from a mapfile?
Return DECLINED? I don't know if it is worth the time, I would prefer a
simpler solution.
