Yes (as httpd-std.conf).  We do not properly generate httpd.conf
files for non-Apache layouts.

I'm not aware where these paths are hard-coded, but the configuration
file when using a non-Apache layout is broken.

The idea is to substitute relative values into the config file
based on the layout where possible and absolute values when the
layout/configuration-parameters dictate doing so.

Does that sound reasonable?  -- justin
