Not if you want to be able to start apache without passing it any special
arguments to tell you where to put the config file. #ifdef-ing some or
all of those things in httpd.h would be a good thing.
HTTPD_ROOT for sure, perhaps a bunch more too.
See the patches being done for the FreeBSD port at;
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports-current/www/apache/patches/
I don't agree with the way he is doing them all, but... that's the general
concept. It should be possible for a vendor to make Apache work with the
structure they want by modifying only Configuration and the *.conf files.
