RFC: make selecting virtual host a hook

[Brian Akins <br...@turner.com>]

As most things are now in hooks, why not make virtual host selection a 
hook as well?  I have a few really strange setups that would be alot 
easier to configure if I could override how the virtual host is selected.

Thoughts?

I was thinking of very, very early in the request processing stage.  99% 
of installs would just rely on the "core_virtual_host" handler.

This sounds like a good idea.

are you thinking of it being a config-time hook or a additional hook  
in the request-processing stage?
I can see cases where you might want both.
