    - Introduce concept of context prefix (which is an URL prefix) · d4b92389
    Stefan Fritsch authored
      and context document root (which is the file system directory that
      this URL prefix is mapped to). This generalization of the document
      root makes it easier for scripts to create self-referential URLs and
      to find their files.
    - Expose CONTEXT_DOCUMENT_ROOT and CONTEXT_PREFIX as envvars, in mod_rewrite,
      and in ap_expr.
    - Make mod_alias and mod_userdir set the context information.
    - Allow to override the document root on a per-request basis. This allows
      mass vhosting modules to set DOCUMENT_ROOT correctly.
    - Make mod_vhost_alias set the per-request document root

    Remaining tasks:
    - Use the context document root & prefix in mod_rewrite to make RewriteBase
      unneccessary in many cases. Do this without breaking compatibility.
    - Write docs.
