Thanks. I think the final one, while it may be unsatisfactory, is a reasonable (or "least bad") compromise, at least for now. I do not think of a better way, without adding "if you want customization, write a snippet to be included in the configuration used during the test", which feels way overkill. > > As far as I know, Apache does not have a "try to load this module and > fallback" directive.
