Read configuration at runtime

[Chris Savery]

What's going to change the config file and how often? If it's being 
updated by some other process or script then perhaps it's easier to just 
have that script send a signal to Nginx. Only case where this seems  
like it wouldn't be workable is if you are updating these configs 
continuously and don't want Nginx reloading it's config every second or 
so. But I mean, if you're thinking that a config will change a few times 
a day or week then a scripted signal on change would give you the 
results you need.
