I'm not suggesting that people should copy the chunks to nginx.conf,
but use the "include" keyword.
So the file would be @sampled into (for example) /etc/nginx/includes
so it would be kept in-sync unless edited, but since we don't have
anything like Apache's <directory> blocks in nginx, the config
fragments need to be included within the correct part of nginx.conf,
so the file might a block like this,
location = ... {
some config
}
and then we tell people in a README to add "include includes/somefile.conf"
within the "server" block for the relevant host.

I'm hoping that if we have some kind of framework, people can start
fitting things into it, it should be easier when we have some examples in
the ports tree.
