You don't get mod_ssl if you ask for them all. =-) (This leads to

I can switch these two offenders (mod_auth_db and mod_auth_digest) to
have the no flag set (like mod_ssl), so that they are never built
unless asked for explicitly. I will keep my change in there, but
change the warning (disabling) to AC_MSG_ERROR - this way we will
fail if the module determines that its prereq check failed.
Is that reasonable? -- justin
