yes, we made this change in order to prevent multiple copies of the include
directive from being placed into the httpd.conf. the logic is that if the
jserv.conf file exists, then the include line will not be placed into the
httpd.conf file with the assumption that it already exists. stefano, can you
confirm this logic in the installer?

duh. ;-)

it will work.

yes, the include is much cleaner and is the "proper" way to do things. it
also reflects on how the unix installation works. stefano isn't an apache
expert and he didn't know about the include directive. he does now. ;-)

thanks for the feedback.
