The instructions are not clear, are they?

$ ./configure --help | more

will list the valid directives you can use when configuring apache. It also
shows you which core modules are enabled by default and which are disabled.

Assuming you have compiled and installed mod_ssl (or whatever), you will
find a file called mod_ssl.c in apache's src/modules/extra directory.

All you should need to do then (from the top level of apache) is:

$ ./configure --enable-module=ssl

If you need to change the apache config regularly, you could think about
compiling apache with all its modules shared:

./configure \
--enable-module=so \
--enable-shared=ssl \
--enable-shared=env \
--enable-shared=log_config ... and so on, listing all the modules you think
you will ever need.

Then you use httpd.conf to specify which modules to load at runtime.
(Instructions in the file). This avoids having to recompile every time you
want to change the config; the downside is that the conf file is more
complex and apache takes slightly longer to load up when you start it.

See dso.html in your documentation.
