"But the standard advice in cases like this is: httpd.conf is not a
programming language, it is a config file. If you need more advanced
features, then use your favorite preprocess (m4, etc) to generate your
config files."
This certainly applies to my situation, and I was thinking something
similar. Still, the Apache httpd conf syntax is quite powerful, so my
question still seemed worth asking.
