We can definitely add any Apache config that you require (yes I remember 
doing this in the past).  Please include your Apache steps (and testing 
steps) in your uploaded README.txt, thanks that would be great.  You can 
also test your steps, before documenting, in the actual Apache to be 
used (/workshop_02/software/ms101_ms4w_foss4g2009.zip)
