Ok, 1 is pure evil, 2 is overkill. My suggestion would be multiviews. If 
you're using Apache (I assume you are since mod_rewrite is an option), 
enable multiviews on the vhost and then create a file called a.php in 
the root of the site. Affiliates link to (as your example) 
/a/rosegarden. In a.php, grab $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], remove the /a/ 
from the start of it, what's left is the affiliate identifier. Process 
as you like.

That sounded simple, will take a look at it.
