This could be solved by putting hooks into darcs, to allow supporting
any web server. Then someone can add apache support, zeus support, etc.,
as they see fit.

there must be some way to handle it. Using the apache config files looks
clean, because then there is just one place where the directory and the
URL are connected. If you do it anywhere else it's just redundant.

One way to handle it would be to put the relevant apache config in a
file in _darcs, and just use an "include" statement in the apache
config. That way regardless of which apache is running, if it includes
this file, it'll have correct information.

Another way would be to just restrict darcs to using only config files
in /etc/apache (or the equivalent for other web servers).

There are various ways of dealing with the situation. But I think the
basic idea is sound.

Be well,
Zack
