I was getting the default document root, not the virtual host's.  I just now
tried it again and it worked, so I must've screwed up the vhost definition
somehow when I tried it earlier.  I'm so embarrassed.

Still, now I'm curious how to reference env vars within httpd.conf.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/env.html doesn't address it.

Thanks!
