Subtle new feature?
This last set of patches caused me a little head scratching.
Probably not a BadThing(tm). Here's the scene.

I keep my web tree in /usr/local/www/server and /usr/local/www/docs.
My access.conf had the following:

# Document Root Permissions
<Directory /usr/local/www/docs >

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes Multiviews

AllowOverride All

<Limit GET>
order allow,deny
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Limit>

</Directory>


My srm.conf had the following:

DocumentRoot /www/docs


/www is a symlink to /usr/local/www. WierdThings(tm) happen.
I think that the current behavior is most sane.

I'll believe that WeirdThings happen, but I'm not sure what they are.
Could you be a little more specific about how the current Apache
behavior differs from the base code?
