I guess it is a good solution for my case if there is no such "direct" way. I needed that for four main reasons: 1. I want to move host-specific (Virtual Host section) directives to a separate file located in the project directory. 2. I don't want to use .htaccess since it has some (serious) limitations and negatively impacts server's performance. 3. That is very easy way to store host configuration in CVS. So a developer can easily check-out it to use on his development machine. 4. Control panel of our VPS allows specifying host-specific directives via Web interface. All I need is just to open .htconfig and copy-and-paste its contents to the text input. Thus, it seems reasonable to go this way.
