A couple long-overdue changes to configuring:

- Remove the over-detailed and out-of-date description
of Include directories.
- Link Rich's .htaccess tutorial.

-    there as configuration files. One possible use for this would
-    be to add VirtualHosts by creating small configuration files
-    for each host, and placing them in such a configuration
-    directory. Thus, you can add or remove VirtualHosts without
-    editing any files at all, simply adding or deleting them. This
