Hang on a sec here! I haven't looked at any of this stuff before, but this is just plain broken. (yes, it was there before I just didn't notice...) I run "configure" on my system. I end up with a Makefile (by default) that installs things in completely different places from where all the docs say, that creates a /usr/local/var (I have never heard of any OS where this is legit to have!), screws with my /usr/local/include directory by installing all Apache includes in it, etc. This is _not_ good. Part of it is just the horrible hassles of having two "recommended" ways of installing things and having to support both, part is just brokenness in the current setup. Some good work has gone into this, and it has some good features, however I am still very leery of it and the pain it can cause, both for the user and for us trying to support it.
