[PATCH] config tree fixups

[Ryan Morgan <rm...@covalent.net>]

The following patch adds a global variable that allows modules to find
the root of the configuration tree.  This very helpful to modules like
mod_info, since they can now look in the tree for configuration
directives rather than reparse the entire configuration file.

That name should be namespace protected, and it shouldn't occur within the
CORE_PRIVATE area. I would suggest "ap_config_tree" for a name.

That might trim back the size of your patch (although creating more
semantically-close-to-their-purpose names such as "sub_tree" is a Good
Thing)
