That isn't really a great suggestion for security reasons. <Location>
should not be used for file-system locations, because it can be
circumvented.
This sounds like a problem that could best be solved with mod_macro,
mod_define, or similar config-processing module (or a config
pre-processor). I haven't checked the code to see exactly how
relatively <Directory> sections are handled, but it is not something I
would recommend.
