I really like the idea of controlling sections of configs with IfDefines, and then supplying -Dfoo defines on the command line, but I don't think these should be controlled by an environment variable. The only reason for this is that is allows for unexpected side-effects. I'd rather see us adapt the apachectl script to allow for arbitrary -D parameters in addition to the start|stop|blah commands. This also would work nicely instead of using <IfModule> all over the place to optionally include features. -aaron
