FYI:
I'm pretty much done with the mods I wanted to make (I
ended up adding a few extras) and am in the testing
and documenting phase. Should be ready tomorrow.
BTW: I figured out soon after my last post that the
only thing I needed to do enable auto-generation of
apache config files was to insert an <ApacheConfig/>
config intercepter element inside the ContextManager
tag like so:
<ContextManager ... >
...
<ApacheConfig />
...
</ContextManager>
That returned it to the default 3.2.1 behavior.

I think that that is a strong argument in favor of
having it enabled. The cost in startup performance is
negligible and runtime is essentially zero so I
advocate defaulting it to enabled. At a minimum, the
ApacheConfig element should be present in the
server.xml file to comment/uncomment out to toggle.

Aside from the proposed mod to make the LoadModule
statement conditional, I've also added some attributes
to the <ApacheConfig /> tag that should greatly help
setting up Apache and Tomcat together:
confighome - default parent directory for the
following
paths. If not set, this defaults to TOMCAT_HOME.
Ignored whenever any of the following paths is
absolute.
jservconfig - path to write apache jserv conf file to.
If not set, defaults to
"conf/jserv/tomcat-apache.conf".
jkconfig - path to write apacke mod_jk conf file to.
If not set, defaults to "conf/jk/mod_jk.conf".
workersconfig - path to workers.properties file used
by mod_jk. If not set, defaults to
"conf/jk/workers.properties".
modjserv - path to Apache JServ plugin module file. If
not set, defaults to
"modules/ApacheModuleJServ.dll" on windows,
"modules/Jserv.nlm" on netware, and
"libexec/mod_jserv.so" everywhere else.
modjk - path to Apache mod_jk plugin file. If not set,
defaults to "modules/mod_jk.dll" on windows,
"modules/mod_jk.nlm" on netware, and
"libexec/mod_jk.so" everywhere else.
jklog - path to log file to be used by mod_jk.
All of these attributes are optional.

Lemme know if you guys like/dislike the above changes.
I should be able to have it ready early tomorrow
(Sunday). I will post a PATCH version first so I can
get some feedback on test configurations I don't have
available.
