It's not that simple because the new Apache will not contain EAPI, and
if you just drop it into place, you'll have an Apache with no EAPI and
mod_ssl won't work anymore. Besides, the EAPI changes with every
release of Apache because the line numbers (etc) in Apache change and
therefore the EAPI patches must be updated to reflect that. You don't
have to redo openssl (assuming you did a separate make/make install for
openssl to install it as a system library), just mod_ssl. I'd tend to
expect a new version of mod_ssl out when the new Apache comes out,
assuming all goes as it usually does. Right, Ralf?
