here's a diff that provides $location for use in not regex location
blocks.

we're using it to provide easy to use mass hosting of drupals:

xdlg@argon nginx$ cat drupal-controller.conf
root /var/www/apps/drupal;
try_files /index.php =404;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $location$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
fastcgi_pass localhost:9000;

which is used in server blocks like this:

server {
listen 80;
server_name www.example.com;

location / { include drupal-controller.conf; }
location /foo { include drupal-controller.conf; }
location /bar { include drupal-controller.conf; }
location /baz { include drupal-controller.conf; }
}

i cannot otherwise find a nice way to use the locations name as a
parameter without specifying the value as a variable again within
the location.
