Hi everyone. It's always seemed odd to me that htdig's config file didn't
allow you to include other files. This would be really handy for sites
that maintain multiple configs, but want to centralize the common stuff in
one file. So, I've added the feature (to the 011799 source on my system),
and it seems to work like a charm. The patch is below. I know it's past
the feature freeze, but it's a fairly simple addition. (As John Cleese
would say, "it's wah-fer thin.")

Example:
include: common.conf
search_results_wrapper: ${common_dir}/mywrapper.html
If the given file name is not fully qualified, it's taken relative to the
directory in which the config file that uses the include statement is found.
Variable expansion is permitted in the file name. Multiple includes, and
nested includes are permitted as well.
I was going to document it, but I couldn't decide whether I should describe
it as another attribute, in attrs.html, or just add a note in cf_general.html.
Suggestions? (It's not really an attribute, even though it looks like one,
because it's only allowed in config files, and it's interpreted right away.)
