If you're automating deployment you can always store the config file
broken out this way and then assemble a single config during deployment
with a simple wrapper script. or you could generate the full .conf from
some other toolchain entirely (e.g., export from an rdbms or generate
from a dump from some other pki) -- it's not as clean or tightly
integrated as it would be to have an include directive, but it's
certainly easier to rig together.
