I just wanted to comment on this little bit. IMHO, it has nothing to do with how hard it is to automate the configuration, and everything to do with "the way we configure apache". The more runtime options we add as autoconf parameters for build-time, the less consistent our configuration interface becomes. That leads to more confusion for the user on how to normally configure these things. -aaron
