[PATCH] httpd-std.conf changes to organize and support different languages

[Robert La Ferla <ro...@attbi.com>]

I was reviewing the language support in the default configuration files 
and saw that a good number of major world languages were missing.  I 
added the languages and restructured things so that it's a bit easier to 
manage. Also, perhaps all language related configuration should go into 
a separate .conf file??

Thanks very much for your contribution.  Here are a few comments:

- Always use unified diff format (diff -u).  We find it much easier to
read.

- The languages that are currently included in httpd.conf are all the ones
where we have a corresponding "welcome" page (index.html.xx).  This should
no longer be necessary, since the welcome pages use a type-map file rather
than multi-views.

- Personally, I don't see the need to list all languages (or all major
languages) in the config file.  People who need a specific language should
be consulting the relevant standards to find the correct codes.  I would
like to see less stuff in the language section rather than more.

Thanks again.

Joshua.
