It is an improvement on our existing situation. In that sense, it is not
harmful. The previous situation was hella more harmful.

Note that I won't hold 0.9.0 for that, though. :-) IMO, if the more
flexible installation appears in 0.9.1 ... we're still doing fine by our

Do you suppose that the layout processing could be app-independent? For
example, APR provides the functionality, and APR, httpd, and SVN could all
use it?
