I don't think so. it's probably better to let the admin determine where the installation ought to point to, rather than compat (or any other module) figuring it out for him - if there is an old Apache2/ install sitting around and a newer one in Apache/ things won't be right. > >> this behavior has been changed in CVS, so in 1.99_13 everything ought to >> work as expected.
