This is more a question for the main apache development group -- but I
really doubt it. What I can tell you is that you can use the mod_*
architecture to do this. For example, mod_perl allows setting all
configuration variable from perl scripts.

Likewise - I started to but they are now out-of-date. Apache 1.3 has a
switch to allow syntax checking without running the server itself.

-S command line option for debugging vhost setup
If Apache is invoked with the -S command line option it will dump out
information regarding
how it parsed the VirtualHost sections. This is useful for folks
trying to debug their virtual
host configuration.

Interesting, how functional is it, or just screen shots ?? If it could
configure a unix/linux based server as well as just do registry type
stuff, it would be REAL interesting.
Be looking to see how you progress - when you are ready to let the world
see more, we can add it to the gui.apache.org web pages.
Later ...
