bad choice for an identifier, far too ambiguous, i suggest ca-prefix.

why ca and raserver, why not caserver and raserver, or my preference: ca
and ra? (i.e.: ca-prefix and ra-prefix)

i would in fact have named them the other way around, ...-path for the
filesystem path.
how about
@ca-htdocs-fs-path@ (fs for filesystem)
@ca-htdocs-url-path@
and the more complete list (denoted as shell-pattern):
@{ca,ra,modules}-prefix@
@{ca,ra,pub}-{htdocs,cgi-bin}-{fs,url}-path@
the RA and the public pages have to be on the same server (right?),
so there's no @pub-prefix@.
