I believe you could get "x" to be 1, if you do this:

1. Set up a config_include_path.inc file in your DocumentRoot (possibly
virtual) directory.

2. Utilize $_SERVER['path_translated'] and $_SERVER{'documentRoot'] in all
the pages to temporarily set_include_path to your [virtual] DocumentRoot.
If *those* are broken, you might as well just not use that host. :-^

3. In the config_include_path.inc, use set_include_path to set up whatever
you need to use for the new server/configuration.

So every page will set their include_path to DocumentRoot, then include a
file that from there that will change the include_path to whatever you
need for that particular server.

It's a bit of a hack, but cuts the number of config files to one (1) for a
transfer/install.
