Smart modification of httpd.conf for easier updating
just one caution about making changes by the inclusion method:
while this is a good method in general to keep things separated, especially for different directory and virtual server configs, etc., everyone should be aware that, at least in apache 1.3 (haven't played with 2.0 much, so i'm not sure in that case), some things in the conf file must appear in a certain order. for example, note the following comment in the
