I'd agree that per-host configuration may be useful, and your "paths to programs" may be a good example. But I think it is plausible that a host needs multiple <rewritefrom,rewriteto> tuples. Either your '[host "$this_url"] aka = $that_url' or Dscho's earlier '[rewrite "$this_url_to"] url = $that_url' shows that this is not about host but "prefix part of URL".
