Well, more accurately, this is kinda backwards. According to the 
"documentation", the syntax for SetEnvIf is

SetEnvIf (statement) (statement) (varname)

You're acctually //setting// a variable here to a particular //value//. 
if this is possible please let me know, as i could use this, as I'm 
having 0 luck getting CustomLog to work.
