Changing the contents of packages that have Apache's name
of them should be a group decision, IMHO.

That said, the /dist/httpd/ tree contains over 500MB.
About 65% of that is in binaries/, and most files in
there contain the source and a small delta (the binary
proper).  It seems reasonable to suspect that we could
ditch at least 200MB if we had one source package for
each version (well, two if you count Windows), and the
platform binary packages contained only the binary
and build-against files (.h, .so, .a, et cetera), but
not the complete server source.

How accomplishing the (not yet set) goal of reducing
disk/network consumption balances against our historical
policy of 'all the source, all the time' is something
that perhaps is worthy of discussion.
