Nice one, I personally believe that functionality should be included in
mod_vhost_alias.c - enabling it with a new directive (SetVirtualDocumentRoot) is
a great idea, so it does not mess with document_root when not expected to, but
can be told to do so.

I understand the Apache developers resistance to including this functionality as
document_root should not be relied upon to give the correct path if
mod_alias/mod_rewrite etc have done some funky magic. However, the fact remains
that there's a LOT of scripts out there which do rely on it, and for most users,
 the behaviour they expect (the Right Thing) is for document_root to be set to
whatever document_root was decided upon by mod_vhost_alias.c.

The patch didn't work for me, for Apache 2.2.2 - looks like
vhost_alias_interpolate has been changed since you wrote your patch.  I'll
manually apply the changes to that hunk and regenerate the patch and attach it
shortly.
