I think it's the Red Hat thing.  There's "Include conf.d/*.conf" 
statement in default httpd.conf file.  Wildcards in Include statement 
are supported since Apache 1.3.27 and 2.0.41 respectively.

Basically, all Apache modules (php, mod_ssl, perl, and so on) do not 
modify httpd.conf file anymore.  They drop their part of configuration 
into conf.d directory.  For example, SSL is now handled by 
conf.d/ssl.conf (part of mod_ssl package).  There's also 
conf.d/welcome.conf that kicks in if you don't have index.html page in 
your DocumentRoot.
