Yes, it should be :-)) Blame US goverment, not Apache developers. Even program
with crypto-hooks (without any crypto built-in!) is not exportable in source
form... And since some Apache developers are US citiziens... You got the
point :-)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Huh. May be you wanted to ask "why I can not install it" ? Because crypto-hooks
can not be added to Apache core and there are not enough flexability in internal
Apache structure to do this without such hooks...

No, you can not.
