Before anyone starts screaming bloody murder: yes, it's ugly, and I know
it is, and it takes ~30 minutes here just to build these backports.  In
my defense:

1. Believe me, it used to be worse (you're seeing a cleaned-up commit).
2. It's required because of the subtle play of dependencies (httpd-itk
depends on httpd >= 2.4.7, CentOS 7 has 2.4.6, so I rebuild 2.4.10 from
Fedora updates; then I need to rebuild PHP and a couple of Apache
modules against that; fortunately, I can dispense with Subversion and
reuse the existing package).
3. My understanding of the Bugzilla bug referenced in the comment is
that once that "fixed" package enters the RHEL/CentOS updates
repository, most of the ugliness will go away, and we'll be able to
build httpd-itk against the official httpd, and thus avoid rebuilding
other things.

  The testsuite is currently running on my local CentOS 7 VM.  It hasn't
reached the scm*-over-http tests yet, but at least the basics of the
forge run fine.

Roland.
