Hm.
  1. Why you need two httpd servers in first place ?
  2. How much is memory penalty for not-used mod_ssl ?

So I'm not sure that this will help ISP's at all (you still must reinstall
apache!) while this will be help distribution creators (like me :-)...

It's not good. For distribution creators will be FAR better to have separate
patch file for Apache and separate mod_ssl distribution complable via apxs ...
BTW problem with mod_perl is solved:
--- mod_perl.c
+++ mod_perl.c
@@ -690,7 +690,7 @@
     Apache__ServerStarting(FALSE);
 #if MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER >= MMN_130
     if(perl_module.dynamic_load_handle)
-      register_cleanup(p, NULL, mp_dso_unload, NULL);
+      register_cleanup(p, NULL, mp_dso_unload, null_cleanup);
 #endif
 }
It was 100% mod_perl problem and from patch itself you should see (as clever
programmer) why I had this program while you not :-)) It's was not
platform-dependant problem as well...
