Yes, EAPI is always used. There is no more any SSL-specific code outside
src/modules/ssl/. Anything which was SSL-specific in the past now is
substituted by general mechanisms provided through EAPI.

Yes and no. When you've at least _ONCE_ compiled an Apache 1.3.4 with at least
the EAPI patches (see mod_ssl's configure --with-eapi-only option) applies.
Then you can install and later upgrade mod_ssl's libssl.so seperately without
the need for an Apache source tree. But when you install Apache 1.3.4 the
first time it cannot be untouched. Because as mentioned, you always need at
least EAPI and for this the source tree has to be touched.

For mod_perl and mod_php there is a step-by-step list in the mod_ssl INSTALL
file. For the others I've seen postings at least on c.i.w.s.u.

Of the running server? I'm not sure what exactly you mean. Perhaps what you
want is mod_info's output. It shows you what exactly was configured for the
running server. Additionally the httpd.conf file mod_ssl installs via APACI is
already adjusted for SSL and can be used out-of-the-box as the first start.

I'm already on the way to update the apache13-modssl port...
Should be comitted the next hours by me.
