I thought map_to_storage was made to do per-dir configuration. Not
path-translation.
The problem is not really doing the translation. I can always provide
my own translate handler in my module.
But in the current API I cannot to set my env. variables at will. They
will be overwritten by ap_add_common_vars which returns
carved-in-stone docroot from ap_document_root.
We need this same functionality (would like to back port to 2.2 if
possible).
We currently hack the doc root in the post read hook in 1.3, would
like to be able to do it with out hacking the core and screwing
around with internal structs at runtime.

My only other option is to patch every single module which calls
add_common_vars, that is, cgi,cgid, fastcgi, includes,...
I thought a document_root hook was more elegant. Or maybe a
add_common_vars hook? [I would be happy to supply it]
Unfortunately it is not coupled to the DOCUMENT_ROOT
variable, but I'd look at remedying this over building on
ap_document_root,
which should simply go away, IMHO.
What's so bad about ap_document_root? I know the source says 'dont
use' because it won't be right with mod_userdir etc. But with a hook
it would be possible to get right.
