is there a way to substitute the documentroot variable instead of 
hardcoding it?  we have the same rewrite file used by many many 
virtualhosts, and being able to refer to just /misc/whatever and have it 
automatically map to the correct docroot would be extremely valuable.

the idea that adding or removing top level directories could change the 
behavior of my rewriterules is disturbing...
