I disagree with this level of automation. IMHO, the scripts already attempt
to do too much, and because they make assumptions about your apache setup
they end up failing prematurely. I'd rather see a script that simply builds
mod_webapp.so, and then a README that describes what one needs to do to
get it configured (good to separate install from configure).
