I have the fix in my tree now, but one thing still remains that is
more to Roy's point: Now that some of these compiled-in modules are
being built as modules, they aren't being loaded by default, and that
means the default httpd.conf is failing. It's failing on thing like
mod_access.

Either we come up with a better httpd.conf (better detect default modules
and add LoadModule lines) or we drop this patch altogether (meaning people
will have to override the default set of static modules on a per-module
basis with --enable-foo=shared).

Vote?
