feature request: migrate rewrite into Main / HTTP

[Jonathan Vanasco]

first off -- i have no issues with using stuff myself.  now that i  
know where to look and am very familiar -- this was just a request  
based on awkwardness I had as a new user , and hoping that more  
people will adopt nginx.

that makes sense.

it was just awkward to me that SET and IF were portions of the  
rewrite modules.  i had thought they were a little more robust, and  
could be used in more general purposes at this point
