All three choices are fine, but I'm leaning toward B and C
for these reasons:
- IMHO, most people get apache in a pre-built binary form, so it matters
not to them how it is source distributed.
- It is also my opinion that those who seek the source distribution would
prefer flexibility in the build system over the minor inconvenience
of having to download a couple extra files (that are nonessential to
barebones ./configure-with-no-options web serving).
- We should use the proxy and ldap modules to promote community usage
of http://modules.apache.org/ (*)
