Multiple index options
This may be featuritis but I would like to suggest allowing the following as a global option: directory index index.html, index.php, index.htm.
I could also really do with something like this. I saw the other issue related to this was labelled as featuritis; Honestly, I'd have disagree. It makes configuration so much easier when you have a huge number of differing index types across multiple directories, which is kind of what a lot of people need, especially if you're going to use httpd for anything "big." Sure, it's not necessary for a basic, functional webserver, but... neither is the ability to specify alias server names. This isn't featuritis, it's a dramatic improvement in flexibility. Sure, it's not urgent, but it ought to be done at some point soon.
