Hmmm... do we really need config directives for the different limits?
IMHO the defaults are fine for most users.
Look at the CacheDirLevels/Length directives, only a few users really need to
tune the default settings, nevertheless many use the directives and encounter
problems due to foolish values.

If you are doing something as silly as limiting the request body size, you
sure do need to let the user configure it.
