[svlug] HTTPD Config Settings

[Jesse Monroy]

Generally script alias is for shorthanding.
On some system, like HP-UX, the utility is
not in the path, or not where you expect it, or
you need special permissions to use it.

I may have use it once. So, this information
may be incorrect.

However, /usr/bin/env allows a third party,
generally an Admin, to set the environment
variables, thereby limiting security concerns.
