Oy, that one slipped through my fingers before I could respond. Alexei did
the right thing by committing it having addressed others' concerns, but I
will personally say that I don't like adding six new directives when it
could be accomplished some other way. This wins on simplicity and
backwards compatibility, I guess. But I'd like a *commitment* on reducing
the number of directives for 2.0 - merging AliasMatch and Alias for
example, and doing away with ScriptAlias completely. We could facilitate
this by providing a script for conversion of old config files, much as the
bind folks did for the 4.x series to 8.x. I.e. convert "Alias /icons
/usr/local/etc/httpd/icons" to "Alias ^/icons /usr/local/etc/httpd/icons".

No harder than they were already. The http_core.c part of that patch
makes no functional change, only a syntactical one in the config
file.
