Sorry for the yelling, but I *try* to give all the information, and have 
some sympathy with Lord of Gore when folks don't read what I wrote. I 
have also tried looking for documentation, and, as I mentioned, just 
about everything I find starts out "now that you've built apache".

What I'm worried about is it finding /usr/local/apache, and putting 
modules there, instead of where the running apache will find them, in 
/usr/lib/blah,blah,blah. That, in fact, is one of my two primary issues.
