That is not this case. The thing is that every developer in our company has
own WAMP installed on the local machine. Thus, we have one common httpd.conf
for all workstations and a developer simply checks-out project-specific
settings from a CVS server to local wwwroot.

The developers have no access to main test/production servers, of course,
only to local WAMP.

Any other objections?
