Changes with Apache 2.5.0
+ *) core: Define and UnDefine are no longer permitted in
+ directory context. Previously they would always be evaulated
+ as the configuration was read without regard for the directory
+ context. [Eric Covener]
+
*) config: For directives that do not expect any arguments, enforce
that none are specified in the configuration file.
