Rick,
It's worth noting that these instructions are for Mac OS X _Server_
http://developer.apple.com/server/security_ssl.html
While these are for ordinary MacOS X (consumer/client/whatever)
http://developer.apple.com/internet/serverside/modssl.html
mod_ssl is simply the Apache module (i.e. "plugin"). Apache SSL is a separately maintained product, and will require a lot more work if you aren't comfortable on the command-line. If you already have Apple's Apache installed, you'll want to enable mod_ssl, _not_ try to replace Apache with Apache SSL. Personally, I would use mod_ssl regardless as it'll always work with a vanilla Apache installation.
See this quote
Apache-SSL is not mod_ssl
There appears to be some confusion regarding Apache-SSL and mod_ssl. To set the record straight: mod_ssl is not a replacement for Apache-SSL - it is an alternative, in the same way that Apache is an alternative to Netscape/Microsoft servers, or Linux is an alternative to FreeBSD. It is a matter of personal choice as to which you run. mod_ssl is what is known as a 'split' - i.e. it was originally derived from Apache-SSL, but has been extensively redeveloped so the code now bears little relation to the original.
Apache-SSL continues to be developed and maintained, our main focus being on reliability, security and performance, rather than features and bells and whistles. I hope this makes things clear. (Adam Laurie).
Hope that helps- I know it doesn't solve your problem of creating a stack, but you may have more success with the mod_ssl link that was posted than what you were using, especially if you're not on MacOS X Server. If it goes smoothly, you could probably hatch the shell commands together into a Rev stack without too much trouble...

Frank,
The instructions on Apple's Website about Apache SSL don't work.
http://developer.apple.com/server/security_ssl.html
There is also some confusion on the internet as to whether Apache SSL and ModSSL are the same animal.
What I was trying to say is that for those of us who aren't Unix Terminal type people, a simple Revolution SSL Stack which simplifies the setup might have some money making potential for the individual who is able to set up such a Stack.
If you've read over the ModSSL instructions you can see how lengthly the process is for someone who is not a Unix person.
Thanks for the post anyway. It probably means that I'll have to be the person who writes the stack. :-(
