Is nginx.conf file dynamically updatable

[Michael Shadle]

I have a php command line script that builds separate conf files in  
one of my servers and does simple string replacement.

Also remember you can use includes so you can leave the main  
nginx.conf alone and have it include stuff from another directory you  
write out..
