Your layout mixes read-only information with read-write information. Specifically
the manual, icons, sample CGIs, and info files are all part of the standard
http server that sites shouldn't need to change. They can also be shared among
http servers on the same machine or via NFS etc. The things that belong in /var
are the things that an http server instance will need to change. See <Layout opt>
for an alternative that has been part of Apache for a while.
