Dynamic log file location

[John Lauck]

I had a similar question regarding the nginx variables and paths in the conf
file.  Is it possible to define your own variables?  For example, path names
that are similar for development and production environments, but prefixed
differently could be assigned, root $ROOT_DIR/deployed/current.   I'm
assuming this isn't possible.  Am I correct?
