You could not use mod_ssl with non-patched Apache. No way.

This is not possible -- you could compile mod_ssl as DSO, but apache should
be recompiled with EAPI patches and all other DSO modules should be recompiled
as well.

Of course. Debian's apache could not include crypto-hooks !

ap_hook.h is part of EAPI and as such is not included in standard apache.

Yes. You SHOULD patch apache sources to use mod_ssl. This patches COULD NOT
be incorporated in main apache tree since this will make apache non-exportable
from US.
To Ralf: looks like question "How to create mod_ssl DSO for standard apache?"
with answer "You could not do this" is the most frequiently asked question for
last few weeks. Is it in FAQ now ?
