[Klug-general] Apache Directive Context

[Kevin Groves]

Fair points and ones I have tried, the issues I'm finding are the 
directory and location directives making a hash of things sometimes. 
After much searching it looks like I will need to start again and do it 
properly step by step. Not a problem, just thought such a tool would be 
really cool - albeit hard to achieve but you never know!

Thanks
Kev,
