Would it be desirable to add .var files to the documentation itself.
This would (in my mind anyway) have two effects. It would improve the
performance of sites serving Apache documentation, and it would provide
lots of examples of how to do .var files.
Or is this just one more thing to maintain, and one more thing to get
out of sync? I suppose if someone added a translation, and did not add
it to the .var file, someone would notice pretty quickly.
