As for the immediate question, OpenBSD base had a fork of Apache 1.x
prior to 5.6. This was removed in 5.6 and is no longer available.
That is not true. It is still available from ports:

I've got a problem with a piece of non-BSD software that I'm running

You misunderstand. The point of creating /etc/examples was not

Hi,
as this request met quite a bit of interest, i have drafted
a list at this *temporary* URI:
http://mdocml.bsd.lv/openbsd_projects.html
If developers want it, moving it to the OpenBSD web site would
be fine with me.
One thing that became obvious while drafting the list is that
