This is what I have mentioned earlier this day. This introduces a CONFIG_VERSION define, which is used to represent a certain config file format. Every time we change config fle format (adding features, moving things around), we bump this number. This makes easy to determine, that somebody is using an outdated config file and that it just might not work.
Sounds fine to me. Only suggestion that I'd make is not to use floating point numbers, but rather whole numbers. Use apr_strtoi64() or something on the string value. I'm not 100% sure that strtof is portable enough. It probably is, but I'm not sure what the floating point will buy us anyway.
+ if (conf_version != flood_version) {
That should be config_version, no? -- justin
