configuration directories?
Is this feature available in 2.0 too, or just 1.3.15? (I'm
trying to bring my 1.3 changes over to 2.0, and noticed that it's
mentioned in <httpd-docs-1.3/htdocs/manual/configuring.html> but not
2.0:

I disagree ... even a novice operator who 'stumbles' into an existing
config had better be aware of this fundimental ... but more detailed
implementation notes could be simply href'ed.

It was forward-ported to 2.0. However, I don't think the discussion
of this feature really belongs in configuring.html, since that
document is meant to be a brief overview, not a detailed
feature-by-feature discussion. At most, it should be briefly
mentioned. (But that is just my opinion. If you want to bring the whole
paragraph forward into the 2.0 docs that is fine with me.)

Yes it is in 2.0 as well.
