create document root automatically

Hello,
Had anyone heard about some apache module,
which would create missing configured document root directory
for a virtualhost on starting, or on request for this virtualhost ?
Yes, I know, that it'd be quite easy module to write, however I wonder
whether anyone already did it? :)

Regards,
DT

Well, you're probably right, anyway apache could be running on chroot,
and, beside all, there are functions in any scripting language, like
php,
or something, to create directories and manipulate files, with
normal engine, not speaking about cgi-scripts, which do this in
thousands of ways. One can do this also with any more advanced
mod_perl things, and, additionally, apache can suid its vhosts,
so security issues are probably not the most important point
in this case - anyway it should't be ignored, as usual.
However the question persists :)
