server config directory patch

[Geoffrey Young <gy...@laserlink.net>]

hi all...

here's a little patch that avoids parsing .files when loading up server
config directories.  

At least on Linux, vi creates .file.swp when file is edited, which then
prevents the server from starting/restarting (since .file.swp is funky).
Not that you can't spend 3 seconds and remove the file, but I was thinking
that maybe avoiding .files was a good idea in general...

The regex looks for /. in the path+file, which is unix specific, but I don't
think windows assigns the same meaning to .files, so it may be a non-issue
for them.

anyway, I realize it's late to get it into 1.3.15 (if anyone is interested
at all, that is - it's really no biggie) so I'm just offering it up for what
it's worth.  I'm not a C programmer at all, and I wasn't sure whether I
needed to call ap_pregfree() explicitly, so feel free to clean it up as
necessary...

BTW, http://dev.apache.org/from-cvs/ is 404, which is why this patch is
against 1.3.14 and not cvs, sorry :)
