You would probably be better off to just make mod_jk* properly support
Apache (and other webserver) configuration directives such as Directory
and Files, then use them to control what gets passed on to tomcat.

Having mod_jk trying to do parsing based on filenames on disk is a
very bad idea for performance and security reasons, especially on
win32 platforms.
