Setting parameters from config file
I'd like to be able to define parameters for <IfDefine> directives with a
directive inside a configuration file.. not just the -D flag from the
command line. I've looked around in the documentation and I don't see any
way to do this. Am I missing it somewhere?
If this feature is not in Apache, I think it would be a valuable one to add.
(Just one note to anyone who implements this: RSE has already used the
directive name "define" with some EAPI module that I got with mod_ssl.)

Yes, Dean, you are allowed to say that. =)

Do I get to say "I told you so" here?
(For those who've forgotten, I'm referring to my opinion that we shouldn't
have ever introduced this <If> crud, and should have told people to use a
preprocessor like M4, because this is exactly what they're intended to
support... inching bit by bit towards a full config language sucks.)
