Actually there are a number of Apache modules to do that, and it is 
even possible with SSI. You just make the top document (eg: /) the SSI 
document, and in that you can do things like...

	... your headers
	<!--#include virtual="/src/${PATH_INFO}" -->
	... your footers

There are a dozen other ways to do it. If you only want headers and 
footers, wrappers etc, then I strongly recommend using Apache modules. 
If however you want more intelligence (coz lets face it SSI is PRETTY 
simple !!!) then by all means HTML::Mason, Template Toolkit, AxKit etc 
:-)
