Well, that may be another approach. But I *really* like it that apache
comes with this 'tool', its own package management if you may say so,
which allows you to say; Hey! here is a binary - just suck it in please.
So another option would be to have a second 'addmodule' command which
understands just enough to do this; i.e. it knows
-> where is my server root ?
-> is there a mod_so in the httpd binary ?
-> where should the modules live ?
-> where is the config file and what do I need to add ?
-> what file permssions should they have on this platform ?
-> do I need to run a postfix command for rebinding ?
apxs does 95% of that; perhaps it should do 80% and another util 20%.
