What your talking about sounds cool, but not for this. This file is
for settings that admins can edit/tune as necessary. If tweaking
these settings requires that you go into the guts of some general
mechanism for querying the way Apache was built then that is no better
than having to edit stuff embedded in apachectl.
I would think that apr-config and httpd-config are not for settings
that admins might need to tune so that apr httpd works correctly.
